Patient's question:
My baby is 9 months old and a boy. Yesterday afternoon, I noticed a small lump on the right side of his scrotum, a bit blue, and slightly hard. It disappears when he lies down. I was terrified. I heard someone say it might be a hernia. I'm very worried. What should I do now?? Can it heal on its own? How should it be treated??Previous treatment history and effectiveness: None.
Help needed: How to treat it.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, I understand your question. We said that it is best not to operate on the child's hernia. I don't know if this swelling can disappear when lying flat. I suggest you go to the hospital to check. If it is Kandun, it may require surgery. If it is reducible, a hernia belt can be used, which is also acceptable. Finally, during the treatment period, the patient needs to follow a disciplined diet, maintain regular routines, actively participate in physical exercise, regulate physical and mental health, and maintain personal hygiene to avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
