How is hydrocele treated in children?

Patient's question:

Treatment of hydrocele in children

Doctor's answer:

The baby has hydrocele since birth. Generally, it can be absorbed by itself when the child is two or three years old. If it has not been absorbed, now that the child is already five years old, it is recommended to undergo surgical treatment. Local color Doppler ultrasound examination should be performed to determine the cause of the hydrocele and the blocked area. The occurrence of pediatric orthopedic diseases severely affects the patient's life. In addition to timely treatment, patients need to pay more attention to daily care. They should eat more vegetables and fruits, consume more calcium-rich foods, and avoid or reduce the chances of occurrence.
