Patient's question:
A male baby is 1 year and 3 months old. In recent months, the right testicle of the big and small children has been significantly larger than the left, resembling a small ping pong ball. As a result, the left testicle is not visible. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
Initial consideration is the possibility of hydrocele. It is recommended to visit the urology department of a public hospital for a follow-up examination, undergo a health check-up and a detailed scrotal ultrasound to confirm the diagnosis. Pay close attention to careful observation in daily life, and consider surgical treatment after the baby turns 2. Testicular conditions are prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to actively seek medical treatment in professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on examination results. Additionally, it is necessary to restrict sexual activity and maintain a positive mood.
