Patient's question:
The son of my best friend's family was born just a week ago, and they noticed that whenever the child cries, there's a lump near the chicken. Now that the child is one year old, the elders say it's just infantile hernia and it won't affect anything. I'm wondering if surgery is absolutely necessary in this case?Doctor's answer:
According to your description. You said in this case, you should cooperate with future gastrointestinal examinations and consider hernia, or consult the doctor in detail. Decide how to treat it based on the situation. Usually, attention should be paid to cooperate with later surgical methods to correct and treat recurrent prolapse symptoms, which affect normal growth and development. In this case, attention should be paid to cooperate with later gastrointestinal examinations to see if there is a hernia caused by the symptoms.
