Hernia

Sometimes, the lining of the tummy has a little hole in it. That means it can leak, and cause a lump between your legs.

Doctors are used to seeing this, and know exactly what to do about it. Sorting out the lump is quite a simple operation.

You will come into hospital, and have a special medicine to send you to sleep. When you wake up, the lump will be gone.

You’ll have to rest for a few weeks after the surgery – including not going to school – but will be better very soon.
