Patient's question:
Previously, it would go back up. It only fell down when I wasn't feeling well. Later, it hardly went back up anymore. Nowadays, it doesn't even go all the way up when I sleep. But it doesn't hurt. Could you please tell me where to get the hydrocele treated properly?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 caused by the failure of the processus vaginalis to close. 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. Surgical treatment is recommended for children in this age group. This is a routine surgery and can be performed in a general hospital.
