Based on the patient's condition, there should be consideration for a hernia, primarily considering the possibility of an undesclosed inguinal canal. Currently, further careful examination is mainly required, and if the patient is under one year old, conservative treatment or the use of a hernia belt can be considered. For those under one year old, surgical treatment may be necessary. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery.
