Question

My child has developed a hard lump in the left upper part of their genitals, accompanied by intermittent pain. It happened before and healed, but it has recurred now. What should I do?

Answer

Hello, based on your description, your child may have a hernia. It is recommended that you take your child to a pediatric surgery department for a detailed examination to determine whether it is a hernia or pain caused by other reasons. After the examination, the doctor will decide whether to proceed with conservative treatment or surgery based on the situation. It is not possible to determine the specific cause of the pain at this time. It is advisable to take your child to the hospital for targeted examination so that a diagnosis can be made and appropriate treatment can be administered.
