Patient's question:
Little babies love to cry since birth, crying heartbrokenly. A small, soft, doughnut-sized lump appears in the lower abdomen. When lying down, it gradually shrinks back. Some say it's a hernia. Let's consult what department to visit for the baby's hernia treatment?Doctor's answer:
Based on the symptoms you described, a hernia is the cause. A hernia is caused by reasons such as developmental defects or tissue defects. Abdominal organs are caused to protrude due to weak or defective tissue. The main symptom of this condition is increased crying. When it is quiet, it protrudes and recovers. Surgical treatment should be considered. Infant hernia is a physical condition. It is usually mainly caused by incomplete development of the peritoneum during infancy. The small intestine falls into the inguinal canal or other places. Considering your description of the above symptoms, it is recommended to have a face-to-face examination at the hospital to confirm the diagnosis of the infant and choose the appropriate treatment based on the situation.
