Question
There is a goose egg-sized lump above the reproductive organ on the left side of the child’s lower abdomen. The child often cries and seems to swell more when crying. The baby is about one month old. Past treatments and effects: No treatment received. Needed help: Treatment methods.
Answer
Based on the description, the child may have an inguinal hernia. First, you should take the child to the hospital for a diagnosis. If diagnosed with an inguinal hernia, it is recommended to use a hernia belt in daily life and try to avoid letting the child cry, as increased abdominal pressure may lead to the recurrence of the hernia. Generally, it is suggested that treatment be considered by one year of age.
