Patient's question:
My child has a very bad temper. As long as it's not held, it cries extremely hard. At first, I thought that letting the child cry could help exercise their lungs, but recently I noticed that the navel of the child has become swollen. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was found that the child has infantile hernia. I want to ask what method is the most effective for treating infantile hernia?Doctor's answer:
Hydrocele in children requires assessing the severity of the condition. If it is not severe, surgical treatment is generally not recommended. Conservative treatment methods, such as using a hydrocele belt to alleviate symptoms, can be employed. As the body grows and develops, it usually returns to normal. However, if there is no complete recovery or if the condition is significantly enlarged, surgical treatment can be considered again.
