Patient's question:
When the baby strains or cries loudly, the left testicle moves upward but not severely. The baby also has a hernia, and I haven't had surgery for it. I'm using a hernia belt, and now it doesn't come down when wearing it. Is it normal for a baby's testicle to move up and down?Doctor's answer:
The testicles moving upwards in the doll are a sign of undescended testicles. If suffering from a hernia, it is best to undergo surgical treatment as early as possible. A hernia belt only provides temporary relief by preventing the hernial sac from protruding but cannot treat the condition. If the doll's hernia still protrudes, it is necessary to seek surgical treatment early to avoid the risk of hernia incarceration, which could negatively impact the doll. It is important to avoid excessive activity and crying in the doll to prevent hernia protrusion. Early surgical treatment for the hernia is highly recommended.
