Patient's question:
The baby is now 13 months old and has noticed a hernia dropping into the scrotum, causing it to swell significantly. The baby is also in a bad mood, and the hernia has been present in the scrotum for a long time, which is causing great concern. Hello, can the surgery be performed now? There are concerns that the child is still very young, and general anesthesia may affect the development of the cerebellum, as well as worries about the child's ability to recover. Please reply.Doctor's answer:
When the early abdominal wall scar from hernia is not too large, the abdominal contents may or may not fall down. But over time, it can cause this abdominal wall scar to become larger. Eventually, the abdominal contents will fall down, such as the intestines or omentum. Early surgery is recommended. After one week of surgery, you can move freely without affecting normal diet and daily activities. The surgery uses local anesthesia, which is not very painful. In addition to treatment, it is important to maintain a good mood in daily life, as a positive attitude is very helpful for recovery.
