Patient's question:
My child told me that her hand hurts. Then I got nervous. I went to the hospital for a check-up. It was said that she has hydrocele of the spermatic cord. I wanted to learn more. Could you please tell me about the hazards of hydrocele of the spermatic cord in children?Doctor's answer:
Dear friend, hello. The harm of hydrocele of the spermatic cord in children is that it affects the child's urination, walking, delivery, and sexual life in the future. Based on the clinical manifestations of cystic masses in the scrotum and inguinal sac, combined with physical examination and ultrasound examination, a diagnosis can be made. Hydrocele of the spermatic cord refers to the closure of both ends of the processus vaginalis during embryonic development, while the middle part of the processus vaginalis remains open, leading to excessive fluid accumulation.
