Question
Male, 24 months old, medical description: Since the age of one, the hernia was not severe, but there were occasional episodes of pain, especially more pronounced during crying. Otherwise, the child is in good condition. How should it be handled?
Answer
This is a typical intestinal movement. The symptoms are more pronounced during coughing, crying, and defecation. At the age of two, the child will not recover on their own. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a surgical examination and treatment. The child is now two years old, and the hernia has worsened, requiring surgical treatment. It is advisable to avoid having the child cry for long periods recently. If a lump protrudes and cannot be retracted along with pain, it may be an incarcerated hernia, and immediate hospital treatment is required.
