Patient's question:
My child is six years old. Last year, a check-up revealed a hernia, and I was given a medication pack to wear around the lower abdomen for about two and a half months. At that time, it healed, and it didn't drop down anymore. But now, after not using the medication for half a year, it has dropped down again. It's still uneven—one side is larger than the other. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, I'm glad to help you with your question: For the hernia condition of the child of this parent, if surgery is not performed when the hernia is present, surgical treatment can be adopted. Please undergo an ultrasound examination to confirm the diagnosis, and then surgical treatment will lead to recovery. Hello, what you mentioned should be an inguinal hernia, which requires surgical treatment. It is recommended that you see a pediatric surgeon for surgical repair.
