Inguinal hernia in infants Abdominal swelling No crying Whether to seek medical attention

Patient's question:

No

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 such as intestines to protrude outward through this location, forming a noticeable bulge under the skin, accompanied by discomfort and pain. Symptoms are particularly pronounced when standing for long periods, during urination or defecation, or when lifting heavy objects. There is no medication that can treat a hernia; the only option is surgical repair to fix the defect.
