Patient's question:
Doctor, my son has hydrocele. I took an ultrasound five months ago, and you can check it. He is now 17 months old, and it hasn't resolved yet. The Xi'an Children's Hospital said to have the surgery as soon as possible after he turns one. But I feel he's too young. It's about the size of a jujube now. It swells when he has a fever. Two months ago, his family took him out to play, and he injured his testicle, causing it to swell. It took about two or three days to subside, and now there's no discomfort.Doctor's answer:
According to your description and the report, the baby has bilateral hydrocele. Since hydrocele in infants and newborns can heal on its own, it is generally recommended to wait and see until the age of 18. If there is no improvement, surgery is recommended. Infant hydrocele can be completely resolved on its own within six months to one year. If it cannot be completely resolved, surgical treatment is required. The above is the advice for the question "Doctor, my son has hydrocele, I took an ultrasound at five months, please take a look," hoping it helps you, and wishing you good health!
