Patient's question:
Here is the translation of your text into English, with the Enter key () preserved as instructed:"In October, I had bilateral varicocelectomy surgery, and the recovery has been good. After playing basketball, I noticed swelling of the foreskin. During a follow-up check of the spermatic cord, hydrocele was found on the right testicle, measuring 1.3. Semen analysis showed no white blood cells, and the epididymis was also fine."
Doctor's answer:
The principles for treating hydrocele are to avoid urgent surgery for cysts that are small in volume, low in tension, and asymptomatic. This is particularly true for infants under one year old, as they may still have the possibility of spontaneous resolution. However, for cysts that are large in volume, high in tension, and can affect testicular blood circulation, leading to testicular atrophy, timely surgical treatment should be performed. Currently, there are mainly two methods for treating hydrocele: sclerotherapy and surgical therapy.
