What should be done about a 2-year-8-month-old boy with a right inguinal hernia?

Patient's question:

What should be done about the right of the boy rising to the scrotum? Can wearing a hernia belt heal it by itself? If surgery is necessary, will the child's fear and crying interfere with the complete recovery and effectiveness of the surgery? Will general anesthesia affect the child's intelligence? Thank you.

Doctor's answer:

First of all, 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, and surgical treatment is the complete treatment for inguinal. You can also wear a hernia belt and wait for a while to see if the child grows up before having surgery. But be careful not to let the child cry hard, and keep the bowels moving to prevent constipation. Prevent fever and cough.
