Question
An infant has a bulge on the left scrotum, is in good spirits, has a strong appetite, restless sleep, normal bowel movements, and normal weight. There have been crying symptoms, and treatment methods and traditional Chinese medicine assistance are being sought.
Answer
For pediatric left scrotal hernia, it is recommended to use a hernia belt for treatment. In cases not severe, about 95% of infants can recover spontaneously. For most patients, surgical treatment is necessary, but using a hernia belt before surgery can prevent the condition from worsening and prevent complications such as hernia incarceration and intestinal obstruction. Since infants have delicate organs and tissues, surgery may affect future fertility.
