Patient's question:
Last night, I noticed a lump on the left side of his scrotum. Sometimes it's there, and sometimes it disappears. The help I want: I want to know if he has some kind of disease?Doctor's answer:
Observe carefully when the child develops a swelling and when it disappears. Generally, when the child cries, coughs, or experiences a decrease in abdominal pressure, a swelling may appear near the scrotum. Under normal circumstances, it is normal. This is a hernia. Based on your description of the location, it is likely an inguinal hernia.Treatment methods for hernias:
1. Wear a hernia truss
2. Take traditional Chinese medicine
3. Surgery
Precautions:
Minimize activities that increase abdominal pressure, such as crying or coughing, in children.
