Patient's question:
A 50-year-old male with a hernia, what medication can be used to treat it.Doctor's answer:
Surgery is the best treatment for pediatric inguinal hernias. Generally, it is performed under general anesthesia with high ligation, which is safe and does not take long. If a hernia occurs, it is advisable to seek treatment early to prevent the contents of the hernial sac from becoming strangulated, which could increase the difficulty of the surgery and pose a risk to life. As for scrotal edema, it can be observed until the child is one year old. If it does not disappear, surgical treatment should be considered; however, close follow-up and monitoring are necessary to watch for the possibility of hernia formation.
