What should I do if a child's hernia can't go back up?

Patient's question:

Got a hernia, recently it keeps dropping down, and it falls whenever the baby walks. The check said it's fine as long as the child doesn't cry, but I'm still very worried. I'd like to ask, what can I do if the baby's hernia doesn't go back up?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, pediatric hernia is caused by congenital developmental imperfections of tissues. During physical activity or when crying intensely, when intra-abdominal pressure rises, abdominal tissue may protrude from the hernia ring. If the hernia sac cannot be, the possibility of incarceration should be considered, and medical attention is needed. It is recommended to strengthen care, prevent colds, avoid chronic coughing, crying, and overexertion. If the hernia sac is visibly bulging, the child should lie down and rest promptly for manual reduction. If it cannot be, they need medical treatment.
