Patient's question:
My friend just had a baby, which was supposed to be a happy event, but after the birth, they realized it was a series of surprises. First, the baby was premature and malnourished, then they had continuous fever. The other day, they were carefully examined and found to have infantile hernia. What are the causes of infantile hernia?Doctor's answer:
Hydroceles in children are relatively easy to occur due to the relatively weak abdominal wall caused by congenital growth and development, which allows the small intestine to pass through this weak point and fall into the scrotum. Generally, it is recommended to perform surgery to close this opening after the child is one year old if it does not recover on its own. The surgery is relatively simple, and the hospital stay is short. Afterwards, it is important to pay attention to preventing colds in children and avoiding getting easily sick. In daily life, it is necessary to pay attention to personal habits and maintain a healthy diet.
