What should I do if my child has a hernia?

Hernia is relatively common in children. As a special group, children need to pay special attention to the occurrence of hernia. In fact, there are many ways to cause hernia, including what people often call surgical treatment and conservative treatment, which is selected according to the size of the hernia and the age of onset of the child. Of course, in addition to the above therapies, we can also have other methods, so what are they?

Common hernias include direct inguinal hernia, oblique inguinal hernia, umbilical hernia, femoral hernia and incisional hernia. According to their clinical manifestations, they can be divided into reducible hernia, irreducible hernia and incarcerated hernia.
