Patient's question:
The baby is 10 months old. Recently, it was noticed that there are two hard lumps on the right testicle after crying and playing. What kind of help is needed: Not sure if it's a hernia, how to get rid of it completely, can it be surgically treated? What should be paid attention to in daily life?Doctor's answer:
Hello friend, don't worry. This situation is related to hernia. In children, hernia is generally not treated before the age of 2. If it hasn't resolved on its own by age 2, surgical treatment may be necessary. Before the age of 2, it may resolve on its own. However, if it re-enters at any time, emergency surgery is required.In daily life, it's only necessary to pay attention to prevent factors that increase abdominal pressure, such as constipation, indigestion, and crying, which may allow the hernia to resolve on its own. If you can buy a hernia bag to cover the weak area of the hernia, it may further slow down the process of natural healing.
