Patient's question:
The child discovered hydrocele at the age of two months. Now it has been three months and one year old. It was only discovered about a month ago. It appears when crying. They said to wait and see. Surgery will be considered when the weather gets cold. How much does hydrocele surgery for children cost approximately?Doctor's answer:
Hello! The main cause of pediatric inguinal hernia is congenital factors. Inguinal hernia is mainly caused by the failure of the processus vaginalis to close. Umbilical hernia is due to the failure of the umbilical ring to close promptly. Premature and low birth weight infants are not fully developed at birth. Inguinal hernias in children over 1 year old cannot heal on their own. If the umbilical hernia is over 4 years old or the umbilical cord diameter is 2-3 cm or larger, surgical treatment should be considered. Currently, minimally invasive treatment is primarily used. The recovery is relatively fast. The cost is approximately 45,000 yuan.
