Patient's question:
The child is now one and a half months old, and after a thorough examination, it was found to have an inguinal hernia. My son is only one and a half years old and has also developed an inguinal hernia, which is near the scrotum next to the penis. When he cries hard, it drops down, and it needs to be pushed back by hand. The doctor said it's nothing serious, but the doctor recommended surgery. What should I do about the inguinal hernia in a one and a half-year-old baby?Doctor's answer:
The main treatment method is to determine whether surgical intervention is necessary. In daily life, it is also necessary to pay attention to preventing excessive crying in children, as well as vigorous exercise, as these may all trigger obvious symptoms of local weakness or even recurrent local pain. It is recommended to appropriately decide on manual (repositioning) as the treatment method. The main treatment method is to determine whether surgical intervention is necessary, as oral medication or local physical therapy may be ineffective.
