Patient's question:
My son's scrotum is always swollen, and I also feel it's not normal. It's asymmetrical with his penis, so I took him to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said it was caused by a hernia and that it would be particularly severe during crying. I want to ask a few questions: Is it true that a hernia is when the intestines drop down?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the child reappears with scrotal asymmetry, which could be caused by orchitis, hernia, or hydrocele. The so-called "" refers to the weakness of intestinal contents, and on the surface, it could be the intestine, peritoneum, or omentum. It is necessary to promptly go to the hospital for a thorough examination. The most direct and effective method is generally to perform a hernia repair surgery or a high ligation surgery.
