Patient's question:
Your son is now almost 3 years old, and he was diagnosed with hydrocele before he was 1 year old. I want to ask if surgery is mandatory. Can he avoid surgery? Are there any other treatment options?Doctor's answer:
It is tendinitis. In the early stages, reduce finger movement to allow the local area to rest. Massage and acupuncture have certain therapeutic effects. Injecting hydrocortisone acetate, triamcinolone acetonide, or triamcinolone acetonide into the tendon sheath for local closure can achieve good results. For cases with a longer duration, recurrent attacks, and where the aforementioned therapies are ineffective, the narrowed part of the tendon sheath can be incised and partially excised to prevent the sheath from compressing the tendon, which can achieve the goal of a radical cure.
