What Causes Pelvic Area Swelling Above The Penis And Scrotum?
my son had a small omphaloce repaired after birth (born sep 7th of this year). he s also a possible beckwith-wiedemann case (had a tongue resection 2 weeks after birth). today i noticed swelling in his pelvic area - no redness perse, but definite swelling around and above his penis and scrotum. i m concerned in general due to the potential bowel obstruction issues, etc. that could be a result of his abdominal wall defect, etc. Any thoughts?

Hi,
It could be inguinal hernia. Please check whether swelling is increasing with cough or any other straining exercise. If so, consult a pediatrician for examination and proper medical assistance and ultrasound.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Prasanna Lakshmi, Pediatrician
