What tests are done for hernia?

Patient's question:

The baby is now 2 years old and has always been healthy. But today while taking a bath, I noticed her abdomen is a bit swollen, specifically in the area of the uterus. I'm worried it might be a hernia, not the kind of bloating from eating too much. I want to get a thorough check-up. What kind of check-up is needed for a hernia?

Doctor's answer:

Mainly, it focuses on the doctor's physical examination of health, including local manifestations that are more apparent. At the same time, it can appropriately decide on local magnetic resonance imaging based on the specific needs. It requires clinical diagnosis to be integrated for effective diagnosis. In daily life, attention should be paid to prevent excessive crying of the child. Appropriate manual reduction can be decided, and a hernia belt can be used for local fixation. Suitable time should be decided for surgical treatment.
