What happens when a hernia occurs when crying?

Patient's question:

Our child was found by the doctor to have a hernia. The child doesn't seem to have any other abnormalities, just tends to be quite fretful and has a bit of a cough. How could a hernia suddenly appear?
Could you please explain: What happens to the hernia when the child cries?

Doctor's answer:

The baby has been diagnosed with an inguinal, where the contents may enter the scrotum during crying? In this case, it is recommended to have a follow-up check at the surgical department. A hernia belt can be used to secure it and see if it can heal naturally. If it still does not heal, surgery is recommended for treatment. If the hernia becomes incarcerated, it may easily lead to necrosis of the trapped tissue, which requires immediate resolution.
For the patient, if the urological condition is severe, timely symptomatic treatment and proper medication are necessary. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of the urological condition. Additionally, the patient should maintain a positive mood to avoid worsening the condition. I hope the answers provided above can help everyone. Thank you.
