Patient's question:
Hello, the baby boy is 2 years and 4 months old. He has an inguinal hernia on his right leg. Can it be treated? Is any major surgery required?Doctor's answer:
Hernia is closely related to defects in the abdomen that cause abdominal contents to protrude. It is characterized by a lump appearing in the abdomen or scrotum, which becomes noticeable when standing or when abdominal pressure increases, and disappears when lying down. If an adult hernia is confirmed, timely surgical treatment should be considered, as medication is ineffective. Avoid strenuous activities and maintain softened stools while drinking plenty of water. It is recommended to seek treatment at a professional hospital.
