Patient's question:
The right scrotum is the size of a walnut. It used to be as big as an egg on both sides. Four months ago, surgery was performed, and it recurred a few days ago. Currently, no treatment has been administered. The doctor said to wait another six months before considering surgery. Can it be treated without surgery using medication or home remedies? How long does abdominal pain from pediatric inguinal hernia last?Doctor's answer:
According to the described situation, this may be related to inguinal in children, which is often caused by the failure of the processus vaginalis to close during the descent of the testis in the embryonic period. It can manifest in the neonatal period and is a congenital disease. For children with a history of a mass in the inguinal area or those who temporarily cannot be found with a mass in the inguinal area, infants and young children can be stimulated to cry or have pressure applied to their abdomen, while older children can be asked to cough, hold their breath, or bear down before reexamination, during which the mass can often be found and a definitive diagnosis can be made. If persistent abdominal pain occurs, it may be related to an incarcerated hernia, requiring timely surgical treatment.
