Patient's question:
My child at home has not been eating well these days. Sometimes, if you push, a lump will appear in the groin area. Since it has already been diagnosed as a hernia, what is a hernia?Doctor's answer:
Your current condition is essentially a developmental issue related to a child's growth. It is caused by poorly developed inguinal ligaments. This situation can be improved through surgery. It is likely an inguinal hernia, where congenital weakness in the abdominal wall tissue leads to increased abdominal pressure during feeding, causing abdominal organs to protrude from this weak point to the surface. When conservative treatment is ineffective, surgical intervention is recommended.
