Patient's question:
What kinds of diseases can pediatric surgery treat, and which symptoms belong to pediatric internal medicine? How should a six-year-old child with an inguinal hernia be treated?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 are more pronounced during prolonged standing, urination, defecation, or lifting heavy objects. There is no medication to treat hernia; the only option is surgical repair to fix the defect. Hello, the condition you mentioned may be caused by local inflammation and irritation. You can use physiological saline for wiping. Ensure the child maintains a nutritious diet, pay attention to keeping warm, prevent colds, and monitor any changes in the child's mental state.
