Recurrence of pediatric hernia usually causes a protruding lump in the groin area, and may also occur in the scrotum or labia. The lump typically worsens when the child cries or engages in vigorous activity, and may disappear when lying down or at rest. Recurrent pediatric hernia can be managed by wearing a hernia belt.
