Patient's question:
Recently discovered that the child has a hernia, found about a week, inguinal hernia, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
According to the description, this may be related to inguinal hernia in children. It is a congenital disease caused by the failure of the processus vaginalis to close during the descent of the testes in the embryonic period. The lump becomes more prominent with crying in infants or increased abdominal pressure, coughing, holding breath, drumming, running, and jumping. A three-year-old child generally does not heal on its own. Surgical or minimally invasive treatment is recommended. Hernia is caused by congenital developmental abnormalities. There are many types of hernia, and it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination to determine the treatment plan based on the condition. Surgery is usually required. After the surgery, it is necessary to regularly go to the hospital for follow-up checks.
