Question

Detailed medical condition and purpose of inquiry: The three-week-old boy has an umbilical hernia leak, accompanied by swelling under the lower eyelid. He has not leaked for 2 years, but the leak was discovered recently, with one fungus found in a urine test on the 15th and two fungal spores on the 19th. The urine culture was positive once. How should he be treated?

Answer

Current general condition: As long as the baby is healthy, growing and developing normally, and there are no complications, even an umbilical hernia is not a major concern. The base of the navel is still an open ring structure, with a diameter not exceeding one millimeter. For pediatric hypospadias, due to the child’s weaker body resistance, it is recommended to take the child to a top-tier hospital for examination and treatment promptly and to take symptomatic medication under the doctor’s guidance.
