Patient's question:
At 29 days old, I noticed a lump-like thing on the upper left side of the baby's penis. The child is still very young, so what should I pay attention to? How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Your baby has infantile hernia, which is very common in clinical diagnosis. As parents, don't be too anxious or worried at first. Generally, hernias in infants under 2 years old can slowly heal on their own with growth and development. At this stage, it is only necessary to prevent the baby from crying excessively as much as possible, and no special treatment is required for complete healing. Newborn hernias can be treated. A belly band can be used to compress the area, strengthen the weak spot, and prevent further expansion of the hernia ring. In daily life, if you are breastfeeding, the mother should pay close attention to a healthy diet and avoid spicy, stimulating, and greasy foods. Rest more. It is also important to pay attention to keeping the child warm.
