Patient's question:
My son is exactly three years old this year. For some unknown reason, he has developed a hernia, with a reducible swelling in the scrotum. This lump protrudes when he is upside down, walking, coughing, etc. Since the child is young and we don't want to have surgery, I'd like to ask—has anyone recovered from a hernia using home remedies?Doctor's answer:
For the treatment of hernia, the main approach is to decide on surgical intervention. In daily life, it is important to pay attention to preventing excessive crying in children. When symptoms are more pronounced, appropriate decisions should be made. After manual reduction, a hernia belt can be used for local fixation. If symptoms are effectively relieved, there is a possibility of spontaneous resolution, which needs to be combined with clinical diagnosis. If conservative treatment is ineffective, early surgical intervention should still be considered.
