Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I would like to consult about whether a two-week-old child can have surgery for right-sided hydrocele of the testis.Doctor's answer:
Born two weeks ago, he is still not able to undergo surgery, mainly because he cannot tolerate it. If surgery is to be performed, it must wait until he is 28 years old. Generally, in the case you described, it is possible to adopt rigorous treatment (Chinese medicine methods) and there is a possibility of cure within the first year. For patients with hydrocele of the tunica vaginalis testis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence, whereas delayed treatment can affect health. Therefore, patients should receive timely symptomatic treatment and avoid overexertion in daily life, paying attention to personal hygiene. I wish you a speedy recovery.
