Patient's question:
The baby's penis swelled up next to it. At first, the baby cried very hard, and kept crying while shaking. But after a minute, I held him, and he fell asleep, and it gradually subsided. However, it's still a bit swollen.Previous treatment and effectiveness:
This has never happened before.
Type of help desired:
I want to know how this condition occurred, what potential aftereffects it may have, whether it will affect the future, and how it can be fully cured.
Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, the baby's condition is considered an inguinal hernia. It is caused by weak abdominal wall muscles and increased intra-abdominal pressure. If an inguinal hernia cannot be reduced, it may lead to incarceration, which can cause intestinal obstruction, even intestinal necrosis, perforation, or even death. We recommend that you seek medical attention for a definitive diagnosis. The above advice is for the question "What should I do if my five-month-old baby has a small intestine prolapse?" We hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
