Patient's question:
My son, who is one year and seven months old, has been diagnosed with pediatric hernia. What should I do? It's best to use traditional Chinese medicine. We just discovered it a week ago and haven't treated it yet. Recently, we noticed that there's a slight swelling on the top of his scrotum, especially after he's been active or crying. What kind of help would you suggest? We don't want to have surgery.Doctor's answer:
From the patient's description of the condition, it is mainly suspected to be related to a hernia. Currently, the main issue is to consult further measures for resolution.Medical advice: The slight reduction in symptoms during increased abdominal pressure may not necessarily indicate a hernia. It is recommended not to worry too much. If you still have concerns, it is advisable to promptly visit the outpatient department of a local hospital for follow-up and undergo diagnostic measures such as ultrasound.
Regarding the treatment of a hernia, traditional Chinese medicine has little effect. The best approach is surgical treatment.
