How to treat hydrocele of the tunica vaginalis of the testis

Patient's question:

The son is now one year and ten months old. I used to think his testicles weren't the same size, but I didn't take it seriously. Today, I touched the left one with my hand and felt that it was much larger than the right one, though it wasn't obvious from the outside. When I took him to the hospital and asked the doctor, I found out it was serious. How should I treat hydrocele of the tunica vaginalis?

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 examinations to identify the cause. Under the guidance of a doctor, treatment should be carried out. Generally, surgical treatment yields good results, and postoperative attention should be paid to preventing wound infection.
