Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I would like to consult, can a two-week-old child have surgery for right-sided hydrocele of the testicular tunica vaginalis?Doctor's answer:
At two weeks old, the baby is still not ready for surgery, mainly because it cannot tolerate the procedure. If surgery is desired, it should be postponed until the child is two eighteen years old. In the case you described, it is generally possible to use rigorous treatment (Chinese herbal medicine methods), and there is a possibility of cure within the first year. For patients with hydrocele of the testis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should receive timely symptomatic treatment and avoid overexertion in daily life, while also paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
