Patient's question:
What should be done about the right in boys that has risen to the scrotum? Can wearing a hernia belt allow it to heal on its own? If surgery is necessary, will the child's fear and crying interfere with the completeness of recovery and the effectiveness of the surgery? Will general anesthesia interfere with the child's intelligence? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
First, I must tell you that general anesthesia will never interfere with your child's intelligence. Your baby's condition should be diagnosed as an inguinal, which has recurred and requires surgery. Because children under one year old, if they have inguinal, cannot heal on their own and need treatment, while surgical treatment is the definitive treatment for inguinal. You can also wear a hernia belt and wait for a while to see if the child grows older before having surgery. But be careful not to let the child cry hard and keep bowel movements smooth to prevent constipation. Prevent fever and cough.
