Patient's question:
My child is five years old. Since he was born more than five months ago, we've noticed that when he cries, there's a slight bulge on the right side of his scrotum. Even now, whenever he exerts himself, it still happens. The doctor told me it's a hernia. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Dear parent friend, it's my pleasure to assist you. If the pediatric hernia recurs frequently, I recommend taking your baby to a regular hospital for an initial urinary system color Doppler ultrasound examination. Then, based on the situation, you can choose an appropriate surgical timing for your child. The earlier the surgery, the better the outcome. Generally, laparoscopic surgery is now referred to as minimally invasive surgery. Typically, they can be discharged within three to five days.
