How to deal with inguinal hernia in a 40-day-old baby that hasn't reached the testicles?

Patient's question:

Right testicle did not descend into the right inguinal hernia intestinal tube 118m intestinal tube rarely descends unless crying hard it only descends when the baby cries The baby is only fifty 40 days old what should I do if the inguinal hernia has not descended into the testicle?

Doctor's answer:

Your baby's hernia is usually caused by reasons such as weak abdominal wall muscles. The typical symptom is that a lump appears in the groin when the baby cries, and it may even drop into the scrotum. The lump disappears during rest, quiet sleep, or naps. After crying, it becomes more noticeable, and it doesn't necessarily need to be pushed back immediately. You can wait until the baby stops crying and carefully observe to see if it retracts on its own. Since the baby is small, conservative treatment can be temporarily adopted, such as using a hernia belt.
