Patient's question:
An eight-year-old boy has a left inguinal hernia. It returns after lying flat for an hour at night. Can it be treated without surgery?Doctor's answer:
The consideration is that the hernia is the cause requiring symptomatic surgery to treat. It is recommended to bring the child to the hospital for surgery. Pay attention to the changes in the local area to prevent strangulation or poor local blood circulation. Testicular conditions tend to be recurrent, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to actively seek treatment at professional and regular hospitals and consider treatment based on examination results. Additionally, attention should be paid to restricting sexual activity and maintaining a good mood.
