Patient's question:
Hernia obtained at six months, now one month and one year old. It has dropped into the scrotum, as big as an egg, both sides have dropped, and both have been stuck. The right one is larger, and the left one is smaller. During the day, it stays in the scrotum, and at night, it repositions itself after sleeping. How should I take care of a one-year-old child with a hernia?Doctor's answer:
According to you, the child may have an inguinal, this disease should first adopt local control and other non-surgical therapies, prevent cough, constipation and other conditions, if not disappear or improve again, or reappear as you said often as often as possible, then surgical treatment should be considered. Generally, after one year of age, after conservative treatment, symptoms are not relieved, often as often as possible, then timely elective surgical treatment should be considered. According to the different conditions of the child, different surgical procedures such as high ligation of the hernia sac, repair and shaping can be adopted, each with its own indications. The risk of surgery is mostly that it may damage local tissues, such as nerves, blood vessels, etc., but it is generally preventable. Wish the child health.
