The best time to treat a hernia

The earlier the hernia is treated, the better.

After one and a half years of age, the hernia is less likely to heal on its own, so you need to go to a regular hospital for surgical treatment.

Therefore, the earlier the hernia is treated, the better, especially in early childhood, its treatment is relatively simple, only need to do the hernia sac of high ligation can be.
