Patient's question:
My son is one and a half weeks old, and only then did we notice the inguinal hernia. The pain made us aware of it, but later it became invisible. A week later, he lifted his foot to climb onto the motorcycle frame and the pain returned. If we get him a hernia bag, can it help him recover?Doctor's answer:
If a child has an inguinal hernia, it may lead to recurrent lumps and pain in the scrotum. If the child is under one year old, using a hernia belt cannot lead to recovery. It is recommended to take the child to the urology department of the hospital for surgery to achieve recovery. Generally, recovery can be achieved one week after surgical treatment. Pay attention to rest, drink more hot water, do not let the child cry for a long time, and keep bowel movements unobstructed.When patients face male reproductive health issues, we should promptly implement symptomatic treatment principles and avoid delaying medical consultation. If male reproductive health issues are not resolved after prolonged treatment, it is necessary to promptly switch to a new treatment plan.
