Patient's question:
Hello, the baby is 2 years and 4 months old, and has an inguinal hernia on the right leg. Can it be treated? Is any major surgery required?Doctor's answer:
Hernia is closely related to defects in the abdomen that cause abdominal contents to protrude. It is characterized by a lump in the abdomen or scrotum, appearing when standing or when abdominal pressure increases, and disappearing when lying down. If an adult hernia is confirmed, it is necessary to consider timely surgical treatment, as medication is ineffective. Avoid strenuous activities, maintain softened stools, and drink more water. It is recommended to seek treatment at a professional hospital.
