Patient's question:
The child is one and a half years old with a hernia on both sides. When not crying, it falls out when running on the ground. After hearing from others that an injection can treat it, we went for it. Two injections have been administered now. When crying, there is a bulge, but it doesn't fall out anymore. One testicle is blue. Is the injection an agent for hardening? Will it cause cancer? Is it necessary to have surgery to remove it?Doctor's answer:
Hello, I'm glad to help you: A hernia is caused by a local weakness in the skin, leading to the protrusion and entrapment of abdominal organs. This is a congenital disease, and for a complete treatment, surgical intervention is necessary. If there is a protrusion, a hernia belt can be used, or manual reduction can be performed. If it can be reduced, the problem is usually not serious and will not cause strangulation. It is possible to wait until the child is older for surgical treatment.
