Patient's question:
Basically, it falls off a few times every day, not by much, and then it goes back up with a hand push. Currently, it hasn't fallen into the scrotum yet, just into the groin area of the child.Doctor's answer:
Hello, children with hernia have a possibility of self-healing before the age of one. You can use a hernia belt for treatment, ensuring the tightness is appropriate—loose enough so that the lump doesn't drop down, with looser being better. Too tight can affect the child's development. It is best for the doctor to wear the belt for the child the first time. Alternatively, you can wrap a 1-yuan coin in soft cloth, press the lump back into the abdomen, and then secure it with adhesive tape. The goal is to prevent the lump from coming out.Additionally, pay attention to the child's nutrition and minimize situations that increase abdominal pressure, such as crying, coughing, or constipation. After the age of one, the possibility of self-healing is almost lost, and surgical treatment should be considered. You should observe the child regularly and be cautious of hernia strangulation. If strangulation occurs, seek medical attention immediately.
