Patient's question:
At the age of eight, my son just had a hernia surgery in April this year.Doctor's answer:
Hernia is when a part of human tissue or organ detaches from its original position and moves into another area through gaps, defects, or weak points in the body. When the small intestine drops into the scrotum, it moves up and down. When lying down or pushing the lump with your hand, it can retract into the abdominal cavity, but it falls back into the scrotum when standing. This is commonly referred to as "small intestine" (small intestine). There are various types of hernias, including umbilical hernia, inguinal direct hernia, inguinal indirect hernia, incisional hernia, white line hernia, and femoral hernia.This condition occurs when cold and damp pathogens invade the liver meridian, causing cold to congeal and dampness to obstruct, leading to qi accumulating in the groin area and resulting in this hernia. Alternatively, it may be caused by emotional depression, sudden anger, or loud crying, which disrupts the smooth flow of qi, leading to qi stagnation and impaired tendon and vessel function. In some cases, it may develop due to excessive lifting, long-distance travel, or strenuous physical exertion, weakening qi and causing it to sink into the lower abdomen.
It is recommended that you seek diagnosis and treatment from a regular hospital with a surgical department!
