Patient's question:
On December 26, 2013, which was the day before yesterday, a two-year-old boy had swelling in his right testicle and was examined at Zhengyang County People's Hospital.Doctor's answer:
It should be an inguinal hernia or hydrocele in children. If the lump decreases and disappears after the child lies down, the possibility of an inguinal hernia is greater. If it is a hydrocele, it may heal on its own. However, if it is an inguinal hernia, a small surgery will be needed when the child is older. Children's bodies have weaker resistance, so they are prone to inguinal hernias. For parents, do not be anxious and should take the child to a specialized hospital for examination and treatment in time. Also, pay attention to regular check-ups for the child and use medication reasonably under the guidance of a doctor.
