Patient's question:
Neonatal hydrocele, the testicles were large and small at birth, and recently over the past week, it has become increasingly obvious. An ultrasound was performed, and both sides have fluid accumulation. Could you please ask the doctor how neonatal hydrocele is usually treated?Doctor's answer:
Because the child is currently quite young, it's advisable to wait and see how the condition changes after the child stands up and lies down. The shell membrane effusion can be classified into either a communicating type or a simple type. If it's the simple type, it can gradually resolve as the child grows. However, if it's the communicating type, the child may need surgery when they are older. Generally, surgery is recommended after the child turns one and a half years old, as urological conditions tend to fluctuate and require long-term medication. For male patients, it's important to seek treatment at a professional and reputable hospital, and treatment should be considered based on thorough examination results. Additionally, it's necessary to avoid sexual activity and maintain a positive mood. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
