Patient's question:
I noticed a lump in his groin area a day or two ago while giving my child a bath. He hasn't been very comfortable lately either. I heard from others that this age group is most prone to hydroceles. What are the symptoms of hydroceles in children?Doctor's answer:
Hello! According to the description, a swollen lump was found in the groin area of a 6-year-old child, which may be related to an inguinal hernia in children.Abstract: Failure of the processus vaginalis to close during the descent of the testis in the embryonic period is a congenital disease. For children with a history of groin lump protrusion and no temporary lump in the groin area, stimulating them to cry or increasing abdominal pressure by having older children cough, hold their breath, swell, or run and jump can help reveal the lump and make a definitive diagnosis.
