Patient's question:
The baby is now 13 months old and has noticed a hernia dropping into the scrotum, causing it to swell significantly. The baby is also in a bad mood, and the hernia has been present in the scrotum for a long time, which is causing great concern. Hello, can the surgery be performed now? There are concerns that the child is still very young, and general anesthesia may affect the development of the cerebellum, as well as worries about the child's ability to digest. Please reply?Doctor's answer:
When the early abdominal wall scar from hernia is not large, the abdominal contents may never fall down. But over time, it can cause the abdominal wall scar to become larger. Eventually, the abdominal contents will fall down, such as the intestines or omentum. Early surgery is recommended. You can resume normal activities within a week after the surgery without interfering with your daily diet and routine. The surgery is performed under local anesthesia and is not very painful. Wishing you a happy life!
