Patient's question:
I am 36 years old this year, and recently I have been feeling unwell. During the day, I sometimes feel dizzy, and it has also affected my work. I can't sleep at night, and the medicine I took doesn't seem to work well. Could you please tell me how long the hydrocele surgery for a baby's testicular can be postponed?Doctor's answer:
Hello, hydrocele, which is known as "water scrotum" in traditional Chinese medicine. Clinically, it presents as unilateral or bilateral swelling of the scrotum like crystal, without redness or heat, pressing down the testicles, pulling up the lower abdomen, with itching and discharge or invasion of cold and dampness. Over time, it can transform into heat, and symptoms such as redness and swelling of the scrotum and short, dark urine may also appear. It is often caused by the obstruction of the pulse of the liver meridian in the pericardium, combined with invasion of cold and dampness or accumulation of damp-heat.[Formula]
Honeysuckle flower and cicada shell, each 30 grams; perilla leaves, 15 grams.
[Usage]
Add the above herbs to boiling water and decoct twice. Strain the liquid and mix the two decoctions in a bowl. Let it cool to lukewarm, then first soak and then wash the scrotum. Each time, soak for 30 minutes. Use one dose daily, soaking and washing 2-3 times. Severe cases may require surgical treatment.
