How should a three-year-old boy with an inguinal hernia be treated?

Patient's question:

Testicular swelling, one large and one small at three years old. How is the surgery going? It's quite worrying to see this situation. I want the condition to improve through treatment.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on your description, the 3-year-old baby suffers from pediatric hernia and has reappeared with one testicle being larger than the other. I speculate that the possibility of hydrocele cannot be ruled out. If the child has already been diagnosed with pediatric hernia, I believe the reasons for a 3-year-old child to reappear with hernia are very complex. At birth, there is a peritoneal sac in the child's inguinal area. Additionally, due to some objective reasons, the sac cannot be completely locked or self-locking is incomplete, resulting in a larger cavity that protrudes to the child's surface, which constitutes the main cause of the child's hernia reappearing.
