Patient's question:
I recently don't know why my lower body is very uncomfortable, and I also don't have morning erections anymore. What is the meaning of a hernia in children?Doctor's answer:
Hello, a small intestinal hernia refers to the small intestine protruding through a weak spot in the abdominal wall, forming a soft mass on the surface of the body. In infants and young children, hernias often occur due to congenital underdevelopment of the abdominal wall, and activities like intense crying can easily cause the hernia sac to bulge through the weak area. For hernia patients under two years old, a hernia belt can be used for conservative treatment, while those over two years old require surgical intervention.
