Patient's question:
My daughter gets a lump on both hips every time she cries, but it disappears when she's not crying. What could be the reason for this?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 particularly more pronounced when standing for long periods, during urination or defecation, or when lifting heavy objects. There is no medication to treat hernia; the only option is surgical repair to fix the defect.
