Patient's question:
Is it easy for young boys to get this? Will a one-year-old baby have this disease? Recently, my husband's colleague's child has an inguinal hernia, and they are about the same age as my child. I'm very worried that my child might also get it. At what age are children most likely to get an inguinal hernia? What are the symptoms? How can you tell if you have an inguinal hernia? What kind of help is needed: At what age are children most likely to get an inguinal hernia? What are the symptoms? How can you tell if you have an inguinal hernia?Doctor's answer:
Hello, this condition is not about whether it's easy or difficult, but rather whether it can be triggered during growth and development. The younger the child, the more obvious the symptoms, usually detectable shortly after birth. This is not a disease that is acquired but one that is present from birth.Guidance: So if your child doesn’t have it, they won’t have it for the rest of their life. It’s like a fruit that has been bitten by insects during its transformation—when it grows, the damage will be significant, whereas one that hasn’t been bitten will remain intact. This is not a disease that is acquired later in life; it is congenital.
