Patient's question:
My baby now gets small bumps in her lower abdomen whenever she cries or fusses, and she also has some difficulty urinating. Her grandmother says it's a hernia. How should we take care of it on a daily basis? Will it affect her future life? What are the serious consequences?Doctor's answer:
Surgery is the best method for treating hernias. General anesthesia and high ligation are commonly used. The surgery is safe and does not take long. If there is a hernia, it should be treated early to avoid the contents of the hernia sac being trapped, which increases the difficulty of the surgery and the risk to life. As for scrotal edema, it can be observed. If the surgery does not resolve it, only careful follow-up and attention to the possibility of hernia formation are needed. It is recommended to seek treatment at a professional hospital.
