Patient's question:
The little baby has developed hydrocele, often with swelling on the left side. Nowadays, his appetite seems to be much worse, and he doesn't sleep well at night. Since he's still young, I really don't want him to undergo surgery. I want to find out where I can buy a hydrocele band?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Pediatric hernia mainly includes two types: congenital inguinal hernia and umbilical hernia. The main cause of pediatric hernia is congenital factors. Inguinal hernia is mainly due to the failure of the processus vaginalis to close, while umbilical hernia is caused by the inability of the umbilical ring to close promptly. Premature infants and low birth weight infants are affected due to incomplete growth and development at birth. At this age, children can use the umbilical ring to fix the hernia sac and undergo conservative treatment. It is recommended that they seek medical treatment at the hospital.
