Patient's question:
The swelling is slightly above the testicle, the size of a quail egg, and it seems like it can't go up anymore.History of previous treatment and its effectiveness: None
What help you expect: Cure the disease, safely and quickly
Doctor's answer:
Your baby's condition could be a hernia or an undescended testicle. If it's an undescended testicle, it needs to be brought down. If it's a hernia, it needs to be pushed back up. If it can't be pushed back up, it's okay. Generally, for children under 3, besides the possibility of it going back up on its own, I recommend that your baby definitely go to the hospital for a scrotal ultrasound to get a thorough examination and a definitive diagnosis. If it's an undescended testicle, it needs to be brought down. If it's a hernia, you can first try conservative treatment. If that doesn't work, surgical treatment can be considered after the child is over 3 years old. Wishing your baby a speedy recovery!
