Patient's question:
Child, there is a noticeable lump on the right side, it feels quite hard, accompanied by pain, and they are constantly crying.Doctor's answer:
Hernia is caused by local developmental weakness during growth or increased intra-abdominal pressure due to prolonged coughing and other factors. Hernia can easily lead to intestinal necrosis, so it must be treated. Currently, if it occurs infrequently, surgery can be performed during periods when the child has ample time, such as during winter or summer vacations, to repair the affected area.
