Question
Sometimes a small package appears in a child’s scrotum, appearing and disappearing at times, and it seems to contain air. What could be the reason for this?
Answer
This condition may be a symptom of a hernia, which occurs due to the fragility of certain parts of the abdominal wall, causing the intestine to protrude. Persistent coughing may exacerbate this situation. Usually, surgery is required for treatment, but medication is also an option. Additionally, immediate treatment for pediatric endocrine diseases should be sought, along with gastrointestinal decompression and good hygiene habits. Parents should avoid their child’s preference for certain foods and maintain a balanced diet.
