Does the little girl have a hernia?

Patient's question:

Hello, my distant relative asked me for money. He said his little daughter has a hernia. I want to ask if the little girl really has a hernia? How much will the treatment cost approximately? Is the treatment troublesome? Is it easy to treat this condition well?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to the situation you mentioned, the hernia is caused by the intestinal contents passing through a weak spot in the inguinal area, forming a lump. It is generally more common in males and less common in females. If the lump can be reduced, with the child's age increasing, the hernia can achieve spontaneous and complete recovery. If it does not improve, surgical treatment can be performed. The surgery is a relatively minor procedure with low risk.
