Patient's question:
What should I do if a hydrocele burst open? A while ago, I had a hydrocele, and recently, due to friction from my pants, the skin has broken open, making it very painful to walk. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
This situation is relatively common among people your age. If you're using a white medicine aerosol, you should first wear loose underwear. Additionally, it's essential to use povidone-iodine for sterilization every day. You can also take some anti-inflammatory medication to prevent inflammation and infection. For patients with scrotal abscesses, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If left untreated, it can affect your overall health. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
