The baby's genitalia will have a drum as big as a small fingernail when urinating.

Patient's question:

The baby's genitalia develop small bumps the size of small fingernails during urination, and it takes a lot of effort for the baby to pass urine. What could be the reason, and what should be done? Previous treatment history and effectiveness: None. Any assistance provided: None.

Doctor's answer:

From the symptoms described, it seems like an inguinal hernia. The causes of inguinal hernia are often due to factors such as coughing, chills, fever, excessive strain, forceful bowel movements, or excessive crying in children. Inguinal hernias may sometimes resolve on their own, so it is advisable to have the child examined by a doctor. If the condition is not severe, surgical treatment can be avoided. You should go to the hospital and consult a doctor to learn how to release the gas and allow the swelling to retract. If the issue is not resolved, if it is not cured after the age of one, surgical treatment will be necessary. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly.
