Patient's question:
At three and a half months, there was fluid accumulation in the left testicle. Now that he is two years old, there are no symptoms. When it's cold, it shrinks together normally, but when it's hot, it gets a bit bigger, as if there's water inside. What could be the cause?Doctor's answer:
Based on the problem you described, it is preliminarily considered that the child may have an inguinal hernia, or it could be fluid accumulation. The best course of action is to have an MRI to get a clearer picture, as this will provide more accurate speculation. The intermittent nature of the symptoms suggests it may be similar to conditions affecting the abdominal cavity. The testicles can be relieved, but the treatment process is generally slow, and there is a high risk of recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use medication appropriately, and follow a light diet. Avoid spicy foods, smoking, and drinking beer.
