Patient's question:
My baby, who is not very healthy, has lumps in the scrotum when crying. I have seen a doctor, who said it is a hernia. Now, seeing the baby is very pitiful, and there is no particularly good way to alleviate it. I would like to ask you, how is the treatment for a 50-day-old baby's hernia?Doctor's answer:
Infant hernia is very common, and there are also quite a few cases of recurrence within two months. Currently, no treatment is required, and it is only necessary to wait for the child to grow or consider surgery based on specific circumstances. Generally, surgery is best performed at around ten months or between one and two years of age. We should pay attention to care and prevent frequent crying. Some children can improve on their own. When they are around one year old, if they have not fully healed, surgical treatment can be considered.
