Patient's question:
The hernia is quite large and has reached the scrotum.Doctor's answer:
Hello, children with hernia have a possibility of self-healing before the age of one. You can use a hernia belt to treat it, ensuring the tightness is appropriate, with the goal of preventing the lump from dropping down—looser is better. Too tight can affect the child's development. It's 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 purpose is to prevent the lump from coming out.Additionally, pay attention to the child's nutrition and try to 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 carefully and be cautious of hernia strangulation. If it occurs, seek medical attention immediately.
