Patient's question:
Yesterday, when my child took off his clothes, I noticed a bun on his abdomen, but it disappeared after a while. Now I want to know if he has inguinal hernia. Can ultrasound confirm inguinal hernia?Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally speaking, a hernia does not need to be diagnosed with ultrasound. If there is no lump, ultrasound is not necessary. If the lump does not disappear, B-mode ultrasound can be performed to determine whether it is fluid, a tumor, or a hernia. It is recommended that you see a pediatric surgeon. The doctor can confirm with a manual examination and then handle it correctly. If it is an inguinal hernia, B-mode ultrasound can be used to examine it. If you are concerned that your child may have this condition, you can take your child to the pediatric surgery department for an examination.
