Patient's question:
How to deal with hydrocele in a 1-month-old baby? Are there other methods besides surgery? The elderly say that you can use mugwort or prickly ash mixed with mugwort to boil water and use the steam for fumigation. Is this method feasible?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's a pleasure to serve you. Based on the described situation, it is unlikely that if the diagnosis is hydrocele, there would be a high possibility of it resolving on its own. The child is currently quite young, so it is recommended to follow up and carefully monitor the condition. If the hydrocele still hasn't resolved when the child is older, surgical treatment is advised. Pay attention to preventing any pushing or squeezing during daily activities. Feel free to consult anytime if you have any questions. Wishing you and your family health and goodbye.
