What are the examination items for hernia?

Patient's question:

Your child has recently developed some hernias. I would like to ask what are the detailed examination items for hernias? Are there any methods to treat hernias? What are the causes of hernias? Will they cause harm to the child's development? How should hernias be treated for the best results?

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, the careful examination for hernia requires a physical examination by the attending physician for diagnosis. For example, if there is a hernia in the inguinal area, it may present as a reducible mass in the inguinal area. This manifestation needs to be confirmed by the doctor through relevant local observation and local palpation of the patient. At the same time, it is important to distinguish the diagnosis, and color Doppler ultrasound can be used for relevant differentiation.
