Patient's question:
When is the best time to have surgery for pediatric hernia? The baby is now almost 3 years old, but has a bad temper and likes to cry. We haven't had surgery yet because we're afraid it might flare up again. Can we wait a bit longer?Doctor's answer:
Hydrocele is one of the common diseases in pediatric surgery. The main clinical manifestation is a reducible mass in the inguinal area shortly after birth in children. Most cases reappear between 2 to 3 months of age, while some may not occur again until 1 to 2 years old. Patients with hydrocele should avoid and minimize crying, coughing, constipation, anger, and strenuous exercise. When the hernia descends, gently push it back into the abdominal cavity with your hand. Minimally invasive surgery can be performed. It generally does not recur. Male diseases cause significant harm to patients. Once symptoms are detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Additionally, pay close attention to dietary issues, focusing on light and nutritious foods. We hope that male disease patients can receive professional treatment.
