Patient's question:
At the age of eight, my son just had a hernia surgery in April this year.Doctor's answer:
Hernia is when a part of human tissue or organ detaches from its original position and moves into another area through gaps, defects, or weak points in the body. When the small intestine drops into the scrotum, it moves up and down. When lying down or pushing it with the hand, the swelling can retract into the abdominal cavity, but it falls back into the scrotum when standing. This is commonly referred to as "small intestine" (small intestine). There are various types of hernias, such as umbilical hernia, inguinal direct hernia, inguinal indirect hernia, incisional hernia, white line hernia, and femoral hernia.This condition is caused by the invasion of cold and damp pathogens into the liver meridian, leading to the stagnation of cold and dampness, obstructing the flow of Qi, which accumulates in the groin area and results in this hernia. It may also be caused by emotional depression or sudden anger and crying, disrupting the smooth flow of Qi, causing Qi stagnation and impaired function of tendons and blood vessels. Alternatively, it may develop due to excessive lifting of heavy objects or long-distance travel, weakening the Qi and causing it to sink into the lower abdomen.
It is recommended that you seek medical diagnosis and treatment from a formal hospital and consult a surgeon!
