Patient's question:
Patient, male. In good health. Crying can cause the hernia to drop down, or it may drop down when straining. What kind of help is desired: 1. Wants to use traditional Chinese medicine Hernia Lixiao, unsure if it works. 2. Does not want surgery, any good suggestions?Doctor's answer:
The baby has developed a hernia again, also known as an inguinal hernia, which is often caused by weak abdominal walls. This can lead to the formation of a lump during coughing or crying, which disappears when the baby is resting and lying flat. If the baby is under 2 years old, surgery can be postponed for the time being. The risk of surgery is slightly higher when the hernia is smaller, and conservative treatment with a hernia belt can be used. If the hernia has not improved by the time the baby turns 2, surgery can be performed to correct it permanently.
