Patient's question:
I haven't been feeling well in my lower abdomen recently, and I don't know what's wrong. Later, I had my child take me to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor told me that I have hydrocele of the tunica vaginalis. What should I do about hydrocele surgery of the tunica vaginalis? How should I proceed with hydrocele surgery of the tunica vaginalis?Doctor's answer:
Hydrocele of the tunica vaginalis is soft, elastic, and cystic in texture; the testis and epididymis cannot be palpated; the transillumination test is positive. Hydrocele of the inguinal canal or above the testis is located in the inguinal region or above the testis, with a clear boundary from the testis. When there is hydrocele of the inguinal canal or above the testis, a pear-shaped mass can be felt in the scrotum, and the testis cannot be palpated. In cases of communicating hydrocele, the fluid-filled sac can shrink or disappear when lying down. It is recommended that you visit a formal urology hospital at your convenience for examination. The doctor will conduct specialized examinations based on your condition to identify the cause and severity of the disease, provide personalized treatment, and achieve the desired therapeutic effect.
