Patient's question:
The left groin occasionally swells, but it disappears on its own within a few minutes and without pain. The doctor said it's a hernia. I want to know, when is the best time to have surgery for a hernia?Doctor's answer:
Hernia can lead to a recurrent mass in the groin area. The lump often appears during standing, working, or other activities, and disappears when resting or lying down. It can be diagnosed through a thorough examination by a hospital's surgical department. At this stage, timely surgery is possible, and the recurrence rate is relatively low. If the patient is older, the surgery may be more complicated. We recommend that your child undergo surgery promptly for treatment.Additionally, for male patients during treatment, their dietary condition and care are also crucial. Patients must pay close attention to their diet and consume more light foods to avoid unnecessary harm. We hope the above information can assist you. Thank you.
