Patient's question:
No discomfort was felt, and a liquid shadow was observed in the left groin area. No abdominal contents were involved. The doctor recommended surgery as a solution. What kind of help is needed: What is the best treatment? Can surgery be avoided, and are there other methods?Doctor's answer:
Clinical diagnosis of pediatric hydrocele is divided into four types: testicular hydrocele, inguinal hydrocele, testicular-inguinal hydrocele, and communicating hydrocele. Based on your description, the child may have inguinal hydrocele. Pediatric hydrocele is mostly congenital, and it can resolve spontaneously within the first 6 months of life. After 6 months, surgical treatment is required. Preoperative color Doppler ultrasound can help rule out other diseases of the testis. The above suggestions are for the question "Treatment methods for inguinal hydrocele." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
