Patient's question:
My child is six years old. Last year, a check-up revealed a hernia, and I was given a medication pack to wear around the lower body for about half a month. At that time, it healed, and it didn't drop down anymore. However, after not using the medication for half a year, it dropped down again, and it's still uneven—one side is larger than the other. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, I'm glad to help you with your question: Regarding the hernia condition of the child, if surgery is not performed while using the hernia, surgical treatment can be adopted. Please undergo an ultrasound examination to confirm the diagnosis, and then surgical treatment will lead to recovery. Hello, what you mentioned should be an inguinal hernia, and surgical treatment is required. I recommend you see a pediatric surgeon for surgical repair.
