Babies are prone to various diseases after birth, which may be caused by bacterial infections, external influences on organs, or catching a cold. Many parents are very worried about this. So, what should be done for female babies with hernias?
Discovering hernias after birth is mostly a congenital condition, but parents need not worry as there are many ways to deal with hernias at present. Surgical treatment can be used, and if the condition is not severe, it can also be treated conservatively slowly. Many hernias can heal on their own. It is generally recommended that babies with umbilical hernias smaller than 1.5cm use self-healing methods such as navel patches or other methods to prevent infection.
Baby hernias can also be treated by using medical tape to stick to the baby's belly button, but the operation requires experienced doctors to take a tape that is about 10cm larger than the child's waist circumference, with a width of more than 5cm. The front end can be cut into a tongue shape to facilitate the connection of the middle horizontal opening when knotting the side. You can use gauze or small pads instead of adhesive tape to prevent it from sticking to the child's skin.
Generally, this treatment method can achieve good recovery results in about three to six months. However, during this period, it is important to pay attention to sterilization and disinfection, otherwise the child may easily contract other diseases, making treatment very difficult. If the child is already two years old and the hernia still hasn't healed, immediate surgical treatment is needed, otherwise it will affect the child's subsequent physical development.
