Patient's question:
My little baby is now 1 year and 4 months old. Just the other day, a lump appeared below. The hospital said it's a hernia. How should I treat it in the scrotum? Is it effective to use a hernia truss? Is it effective to use a hernia truss? I'd like to consult on how to treat pediatric inguinal hernia?Doctor's answer:
Surgical treatment for inguinal hernia in male infants, if under two years old, can be conservatively treated, and the success rate of conservative treatment is relatively high. If the child is over two years old and heals on their own, it may be relatively small. In this case, surgical treatment is required. The main surgical method is laparoscopic high ligation of the hernia. Recovery is faster after surgery. There are no obvious wounds or incisions on the abdomen. For male children, early diagnosis and early treatment should be carried out to effectively prevent the occurrence of emergency incisional hernia. The possibility of diagnosis and surgery.
