Good afternoon!
Such a condition is more common in premature babies.
Often, comorbidities (developmental disorder of connective tissue, congenital dislocation of the hips, spinal hernia).
Typically, the surgery carried out sooner, sometimes delayed until the age of 6 months baby for medical reasons. If the hernia discover later, is at a satisfactory condition a little patient carried out an operation as soon as possible.
To date, surgical treatment of hernia is the only radical treatment as conservative methods (physical exercise, wearing a brace) do not give a good effect. Now these operations are carried out with minimal intervention by laparoscopy, so that the risk of surgery has decreased significantly. Laparoscopy, by the way, is performed under local anesthesia, allowing the baby a few hours later have to return to the usual mode.

Now a little about the complications of the pathological condition.
Inguinal-hernia scrotal may infringe (sharp pain, nausea, vomiting, fever, lethargy increasing) - then promptly intervention is done as soon as possible, the account can go to the minute delay threatens blood circulation, peritonitis, fatal outcome.
Infertility may occur due to overheating of the testicles (as they are in close contact with the intestine, whose temperature is higher than that in the scrotum).
There may be a torsion of the spermatic cord, which also lead to the disruption of the male reproductive system.
Such surgery is carried out to the kid as soon as possible, because the risk of severe complications - infringement - is always there. In addition, children suffer the operation easier than teens and adults.
Therefore, I recommend you not to delay treatment grandson for a long time. By itself, a hernia will not go away. It can reduce a, but it is fraught with complications.
Consult with a surgeon, pediatrician and choose the best treatment and the optimal duration of.
I wish you health!
