Patient's question:
11 October, I underwent bilateral varicocele surgery, and the recovery was good. After playing basketball, I noticed swelling of the foreskin. During a follow-up examination of the spermatic cord, it was found that there was hydrocele of the right testis with a volume of 1.3. The semen analysis showed no white blood cells, and the epididymis was also normal. I would like to ask: what should I do about the hydrocele of the testis and how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello! The normal tunica vaginalis of the testis contains a small amount of fluid (2~3ml) for lubrication and protection of the testis. If the fluid is excessive, it can lead to hydrocele, hydrocele hematocele, hydrocele pyocele, and chylous hydrocele. There are many causes of hydrocele, including inflammation, trauma, tumors, and other testicular and scrotal conditions. Hydrocele can be treated with integrated Chinese and Western medicine, surgical treatment, or simple procedures such as puncture and drainage of the hydrocele cyst followed by medication.
