Patient's question:
Recently, when I urinate, it has been very difficult, and sometimes I feel a burning pain in the urethra. I don't know what the situation is, but I think it might be inflammation. Later, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the results showed hydrocele of the tunica vaginalis. What causes hydrocele of the tunica vaginalis?Doctor's answer:
Hydrocele is divided into testicular hydrocele, inguinal hydrocele, and communicating hydrocele, and it should be congenital testicular hydrocele. Usually, it can be carefully observed before the age of 2, and some can resolve on their own. If it does not resolve by the age of 2, surgical treatment can be considered. The surgical risk is not very high, and it can generally be successfully completed in surgical departments of secondary or higher-level hospitals. Testicular hydrocele can be cured, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. During the treatment period, it is recommended to maintain good living habits and have a proper diet.
