Patient's question:
The left groin occasionally swells, but it can disappear on its own within a few minutes and without causing pain. Hello, is a hernia useful? What is the best treatment for a hernia?Doctor's answer:
Hydrocele is one of the common diseases in pediatric surgery. The main clinical manifestation is a reducible mass in the inguinal region shortly after birth in children. Most of them reappear at the age of 2 to 3 months, and some may not reappear until 1 to 2 years old. As the abdominal muscles of infants gradually strengthen with the growth of the body, hydroceles may also disappear on their own. Therefore, infants under 6 months old can be temporarily untreated. However, by the age of 4, hydroceles have no chance of recovery. Early surgery should be performed to prevent strangulation. In fact, getting hydrocele is not terrible. Patients should believe that they can overcome the disease. As long as timely treatment is given in the early stage, the chances of alleviating the condition and recovering are very high.
