Patient's question:
Bilateral spermatic cords show no thickening, varicoceles are not present, and the diameter is normal. There are visible irregular liquid dark areas in the right testicle and spermatic cord tunica vaginalis, with a distance of 1.9 cm. No fluid accumulation is observed in the left tunica vaginalis.History of previous treatment and its effectiveness: None.
What kind of help is needed: How should it be treated?
Doctor's answer:
Hydrocele refers to a cyst formed by the accumulation of fluid in the tunica vaginalis, which is less than the normal amount. 1. Follow-up with careful observation: Infantile hydroceles often disappear spontaneously before the age of 2, and treatment is not urgent. If the hydrocele is caused by a systemic disease, it can gradually resolve after the systemic disease is fully cured. 2. Puncture and aspiration with anesthetic and sclerosing agent treatment: Due to its potential complications such as local formation of hard masses and secondary infection, its use is controversial. 3. Surgical treatment: If the hydrocele has not fully resolved by the age of two, surgical treatment can be considered.
