Patient's question:
My child is not feeling well and crying very hard. There is always a big lump in the waist area, which is very hard. Then we went to the hospital, and the doctor said it was a hernia. Also, my child's testicles are one big and one small. The doctor said it doesn't need to be addressed. Please ask, what causes pediatric hernias?Doctor's answer:
Hello, hernia is also known as intestinal hernia, which is a mass of abdominal organs that forms through normal positions of the abdominal wall through upper openings or weak points. Under normal circumstances, factors such as coughing, constipation, anger, heavy physical labor, and difficulty urinating cause sudden increases in intra-abdominal pressure and break through the peritoneum of the hernia ring. Children often cry. Therefore, depending on the situation, it is best to go to the hospital for further diagnosis and examination, and then take reasonable treatment based on the examination results.
