Patient's question:
The child is now one and a half months old, and after a thorough examination, it was found to have an inguinal hernia. My son is only one and a half years old and has also developed an inguinal hernia, which is near the scrotum next to the penis. When he cries hard, it drops down, and it needs to be pushed back by hand. The doctor said it's nothing serious, but the doctor recommended surgery. What should I do about my one and a half-year-old baby with an inguinal hernia?Doctor's answer:
The main treatment method is to determine whether surgery is performed for rescue. In daily life, it is also necessary to pay attention to preventing the child from crying excessively, or even engaging in strenuous exercise, as these may all trigger obvious local weakness symptoms, or even recurrent local pain, etc. It is recommended to appropriately decide on manual (repositioning) treatment. The main treatment method is to determine whether surgery is performed for rescue, as oral medication or local physical therapy is ineffective.
