Patient's question:
At birth, the left testicle was larger, and it was diagnosed as hydrocele in children. The doctor said it would be better to have surgery after the age of 3, but I wonder if it can be done earlier because I am worried it will affect the development of the child's testicles. Is this surgery very complex?Which hospital should be chosen for this?
First follow-up question: Can this surgery be done earlier? In the spring of next year, the child will be about one and a half years old, is it okay?
Doctor's answer:
Actually, most hydroceles in children can resolve on their own and rarely affect fertility. Surgical treatment is generally not required. If surgery is necessary, choose a regular hospital, as the procedure is not very difficult.
