Patient's question:
I noticed that my son has been crying recently with a lump on his thigh. A couple of days ago, I went to see the attending doctor, who said it was hydrocele. He advised that the child should cry less. The problem is that the child can't help crying anyway. What should be noted for a child with hydrocele?Doctor's answer:
Babies with intestinal gas should do everything possible to avoid and reduce crying, coughing, difficulty defecating, anger, and intense exercise. Rest should be paid attention to. When falling, gently push the intestinal gas back into the abdominal cavity with your hand. Do everything possible to reduce running and standing, squatting. Pay timely attention to lying down and resting. Elastic abdominal bands can be tied during the day. Relax during sleep and adjust the tightness frequently. This method is simple to operate, preventing excessive expansion of the umbilical hernia while ensuring the child's dietary intake and abdominal development elasticity.
