Patient's question:
Some children in kindergarten have been saying that they haven't been feeling well recently, with symptoms that feel like hernia. But I don't understand why this is happening. I'm so afraid that my child might suddenly have this, as it's very uncomfortable and affects the child's mood. So, what exactly is pediatric hernia?Doctor's answer:
Hydrocele in children is a condition where a lump, varying in size and appearing intermittently, reappears in the groin area or umbilicus of children. Hydrocele is a common surgical disease in children, divided into two types: congenital inguinal hernia and umbilical hernia. Hydrocele can affect the growth and development of the child's reproductive system and may also cause testicular or ovarian diseases. It is important to promptly seek medical attention for a thorough examination and treatment.
