How is pediatric inguinal hernia of the scrotum treated?

Patient's question:

My child is 3 years old and has a bad temper. He always cries to achieve his goals. Over time, I noticed that his scrotum is very large. I took him to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said it was pediatric inguinal hernia of the scrotum. He advised us to be more patient with the child, as this would help improve the condition. Is it really true as the doctor said?

Doctor's answer:

A three-year-old baby has developed a hernia again. It is recommended that the treatment should be scheduled for surgery. If the care is not properly managed at this time, the child is very likely to experience re-occurrence of the hernia sac entrapment, which may lead to ischemic necrosis of the omentum or small intestine, endangering the child's life safety. During this period, it is important to prevent the child from excessive excitement, encourage them to eat more vegetables, and avoid constipation. Attention, child, drink more water and maintain regular bowel movements.
