Patient's question:
I had always thought that the child's testicles weren't the same size, but I didn't take it seriously. Today, I used my hand to feel it, and it felt much larger than the right one, although the appearance didn't show it clearly. How should hydrocele be treated?Doctor's answer:
Treatment methods are available, including surgical treatment (1) Shunting operation, which is the most commonly used clinical diagnosis, is simple to perform, and has a good surgical outcome. (2) Hydrocele enucleation is primarily used for inguinal hydroceles. (3) For communicating hydroceles, high ligation and division of the patent processus vaginalis at the internal inguinal ring are performed, followed by shunting operation. For patients with hydroceles of the testis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence. If not treated in a timely manner, it may affect the physical condition. Therefore, patients should take oral medication promptly and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
