What department should a child go to see for an inguinal hernia?

Patient's question:

Little babies love to cry since birth, crying heartbrokenly. A small, soft, doughnut-sized lump appears in the lower abdomen. When lying down, it gradually shrinks back. Some say it's a hernia. Let's consult about which department to visit for the baby's hernia treatment?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description of the symptoms, hernia is the cause. A hernia is caused by reasons such as developmental defects in the tissue. Abdominal organs are caused to protrude due to weak or defective tissue. The main symptom of this disease is increased crying. When it is quiet, it protrudes and recovers. Surgical treatment should be considered. Infant hernia is a physical condition. It is usually mainly caused by incomplete development of the peritoneum during infancy. The small intestine falls into the inguinal canal and other places. Based on your description of the above symptoms, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a face-to-face examination to confirm the diagnosis of the infant and choose the appropriate treatment method according to the situation.
