Child-Hernia, Hydrocele

Can a girl baby get a hernia?

RSS Feeds   Text 
Yes. In these children the ovarian tissue may pop out like bowel and it may get stuck. Very rarely a girl with a hernia will have some male chromosome material. This can have implications for later life but a blood test to look at the baby's chromosomes can be done to exclude this condition.
