Patient's question:
5 years and 4 months, sudden upper respiratory tract infection, at this time accidentally found that he had unilateral scrotum with size but not obvious, two days later found that the difference in size of both scrotums was significant. During this period, due to upper respiratory tract infection accompanied by low fever, he was anesthetized with ceftriaxone for 5 days. Since birth, there has never been any found asymmetry of the scrotum. What kind of assistance is needed: Hello, why did my son's hydrocele occur again?Doctor's answer:
Hydrocele in children, there is still a possibility of spontaneous resolution after the age of two. If surgery is not performed, it will not affect his postnatal and sexual functions in the future. If surgery is performed, the best time is before school age. The surgery is minor, involving a small incision in the scrotum, cutting the tunica vaginalis, and cleaning the sac by moving it, hence the name "tunica vaginalis mobilization." As the child gets older, they can cooperate better, and only local anesthesia is required. The surgery is risk-free with a 100% success rate. This procedure can be performed at the local children's hospital.
