Patient's question:
The child is one and a half years old with a hernia on both sides. When not crying, it drops when running on the ground. After hearing from others that an injection can treat it, they went for it. They have received two injections now. When crying, there is a bulge, but it does not drop anymore. One testicle is blue. Is the injection an agent for hardening? Will it cause cancer? Is it necessary to have surgery to remove it?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's a pleasure to assist you: A hernia is caused by localized skin weakness, leading to the protrusion and entrapment of abdominal organs. This is a congenital condition, and for a complete treatment, surgical intervention is necessary. If there is a protrusion, a hernia belt can be used, or manual reduction can be performed. Generally, if it can be reduced, the issue is not serious and will not cause strangulation. It is advisable to wait until the child is older for surgical treatment.
