Patient's question:
My son is exactly three years old this year. For some unknown reason, he has developed an inguinal hernia, with a reducible swelling in the scrotum. This lump protrudes under conditions like inversion, walking, or coughing. Since he is young and we don't want to undergo surgery, I'd like to ask—has anyone recovered from an inguinal hernia using home remedies?Doctor's answer:
For the treatment of hernia, the main approach is to decide on surgical treatment. In daily life, it is necessary to pay attention to preventing children from crying excessively. When symptoms are more pronounced, appropriate decisions should be made. After manual reduction, a hernia belt should be used for local fixation. If symptoms are effectively relieved, there is a possibility of spontaneous resolution, which needs to be combined with clinical diagnosis. If conservative treatment is ineffective, it is still necessary to decide on early surgical intervention.
