Patient's question:
My daughter gets a lump on both pelvic bones every time she cries, but it disappears when she's not crying. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
Hernia is a weak or torn area in the abdominal muscles of the human body, causing fat tissue or other human organs like intestines to protrude outward through this location, forming a noticeable bulge under the skin, accompanied by discomfort and pain. Symptoms become more pronounced during prolonged standing, urination, defecation, or when lifting heavy objects. There is no medication to treat hernia; the only option is surgical repair to fix the defect. Children have weaker immune systems, making them more prone to pediatric general surgery issues. For parents, it's important not to panic and should promptly take their children to a professional hospital for examination and treatment. Additionally, regular check-ups should be conducted for the child, and treatment should be guided by a doctor.
