Patient's question:
The little baby has developed hydrocele. The left side often swells. Nowadays, his appetite seems to be much worse. He also doesn't sleep well at night. He's still very young, and I really don't want him to have 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. 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.
