How to treat hydrocele of the tunica vaginalis of the testis

Patient's question:

How to treat hydrocele? My son is now one year and ten months old. I noticed his testicles were not the same size before, but I didn't take it seriously. Today, I felt with my hand that the left one is much larger than the right one, although it's not obvious externally. I took him to the hospital and asked the doctor, who then told me it was serious. How to treat hydrocele?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your description, hydrocele is a cyst formed by the accumulation of fluid in the tunica vaginalis exceeding the normal amount. A small amount can be absorbed spontaneously, while a large amount can be treated through methods such as fluid aspiration or surgery.
Suggestions: For hydrocele of the testis, it is recommended to go to a professional and regular hospital specializing in infertility and reproductive medicine to complete the examination, identify the cause, and receive treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Surgical treatment generally yields good results, and postoperative care should focus on preventing wound infection.
