Patient's question:
At 42 days of age, I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up and found that my child's small intestine was large and small. An ultrasound revealed that there was fluid accumulation that could resolve on its own.Previous treatment history and effectiveness:
1. What kind of help is needed: I would like to consult about methods that can help it resolve on its own. If it cannot resolve, what should I do?
Doctor's answer:
Your baby has hydrocele in one of the testicles, right? Hydrocele in little babies is usually self-resolving and does not require treatment. If it has not resolved completely by the age of 1, consider surgical hydrocelectomy.Advice: Do not forcefully squeeze the testicle. Conservative treatment is possible, but it is recommended to consult a pediatric urologist to determine if there are effective methods or medications available. If the hydrocele is large, it is advisable to seek treatment early to avoid interfering with the growth and development of the baby's testicles.
