Patient's question:
Baby is two and nine months old, has a hernia, came down today and can't go back up, already been five hours. Do I need to go to the hospital for treatment? If so, how long will the treatment take?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's a pleasure to answer your question: Based on the described situation, this may be related to an inguinal hernia or strangulation. It is necessary to seek medical attention and treatment promptly. In children, if an inguinal hernia cannot be reduced for a long time, it is prone to strangulation and necrosis. In this case, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and visit a formal general surgery department in a hospital for a specific evaluation. Emergency surgery may be required if necessary. I hope this helps!
