How long can the surgery for hydrocele be delayed if the baby is diagnosed with hydrocele?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, hydrocele, known in traditional Chinese medicine as "water scrotum." Clinically, it presents as unilateral or bilateral swelling of the scrotum like crystal, without redness or heat, pressing the testicles downward and pulling the lower abdomen upward. It may also cause itching, oozing, or the invasion of cold and dampness. If prolonged, it can transform into heat, leading to symptoms such as redness and swelling of the scrotum, short and dark urine, etc. It is often caused by the obstruction of the pulse of the liver meridian in the jueyin, compounded by cold-dampness or damp-heat stagnation.
[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. First immerse and then wash the scrotum, with each immersion lasting 30 minutes. Use one dose daily, immersing and washing 2-3 times. For severe cases, surgical treatment is recommended.
