Patient's question:
My child has been in good health, but recently he has been complaining of abdominal pain and has a slight bulge when the abdomen is touched. A few days ago, I took him to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said he had an inguinal hernia. My child hasn't fully understood the treatment yet, and I want to know what will happen if the hernia worsens?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the situation you mentioned, if the hernia is not treated in time, the hernia mass will gradually enlarge, which may lead to incarceration or strangulation. The herniated content cannot return, and adhesions may recur. The blood supply of the herniated content may be affected, leading to the possibility of suppuration. Further, it may further threaten the child's life.，。

It is recommended to use a soft pad to fix the hernia opening for the child, increasing the likelihood of the herniated content detaching. It is suggested to take the child to the hospital as soon as possible for treatment.
