Testicular hernia in male infants is usually operated at 2-3 years of age.

When is an infant testicular hernia treated?

Testicular hernia is not a very serious disease. Male infants can be temporarily observed when testicular hernia occurs, because there is a certain possibility of self-healing before the age of 1, and there is no need for premature treatment. If it does not heal after 1 year of age, surgery can be performed at 2-3 years of age. Most children can be cured after timely and regular treatment, and the prognosis is good. It will not affect future growth and development.

Children need to pay more attention to vital signs and strengthen nutrition after surgery to promote physical recovery.
