How to treat hydrocele of the tunica vaginalis properly

Patient's question:

How to treat hydrocele? My son is now one year and ten months old. Before, I thought his testicles were not the same size, but I didn't take it seriously. Today, I noticed that the left one is larger than the right one when I touched it with my hand, 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 sterility for comprehensive examination to identify the cause. Under the guidance of a doctor, treatment should be carried out. Generally, surgical treatment has a good effect, and attention should be paid to preventing wound infection after surgery.
