As Far as I know there are no other solutions for a hernia and left uncorrected can cause more problems my son is 5 months and 4 days old and he was born 10 weeks 4 days premature he was released from the hospital when he was 7 weeks old and 2 weeks later me and my wife found a large buldge on left side of abdomen went to Er and was advised that it was a hernia he had an operation 4 days later during the time prior to his surgery was very difficult due to the fact that we could not allow him to cry or even strain as it could push the hernia out and cause more problems the surgery was less than 30 min with a 1 day stay in the hospital and if he had been older and bigger in size he would not have had to stay. so I would advise to go through with the surgery he is YOUR CHILD his well being is your job yes it is a very scary thing to think about your child on the operating table but it is better than the baby hurting all the time look for a pediatric surgeon for a second opinion but hernias are very common and if there is one on the right there very well could be one on the left best of luck with what ever you choose HUSBAND OF PW FATHER OF 2 STEP FATHER OF 5

My husband was born with a hernia and had to have repair surgery as a baby so I'd say that your neighbor is not too young.

Your neighbor is incorrect. If your neighbor is a doctor, then he/she did not graduate at the top of the class. An infant can have a hernia. Ignore this neighbor's medical advice, and don't argue with him. He'll believe whatever he wants.

He can have Hernia. Ignore the advice of your neighbor. I have heard reports of Ten-week infants contracting hernia.

No he's not to young...I almost got 1 after I lifted 800kg of floor tiles when I refurbished my flat but it turned out to be my appendicitis operation....Hernia surgery is not that hard, it takes about 20 minutes and the patient leaves the next day

A hernia can happen to anyone, no matter what the age. It's just more unlikely in younger people.

Fully half the hernias are in infants. And half the hernias are in females. Your neighbor knows not of what they speak.
