Patient's question:
My son is still under two years old. Since yesterday, he has been crying a lot. When I touched him, it felt like there was a hard lump in his right groin area. I'm worried it might be an inguinal hernia. How can you accurately identify an inguinal hernia in its early stages?Doctor's answer:
Actually, regarding this disease, it is mainly caused by internal organs protruding directly. And hernia is not age or gender-specific, as people of any age, whether male or female, can experience this condition repeatedly. If a child has undergone surgery, there may be a relatively hard and weak mass in the abdomen with hernia, and the child may experience abdominal pain. In addition to the possibility of recurring umbilical hernia or dry cough, these symptoms may also occur.
