Is surgical intervention required for a unilateral swollen testicle?

Patient's question:

2-year-4-month-old male baby; discovered unilateral testicular swelling about 2 weeks ago; the doctor confirmed it as hydrocele; I personally believe it is sudden; should this situation require careful observation or surgery?

Doctor's answer:

This is whether to pay attention to chronic inflammation or it may worsen, it is important to pay attention to timely anti-inflammatory treatment and try to see. In this case, it is generally considered to have a timely surgical examination and treatment. It will never affect you, then you can focus on rest and conditioning with vitamin C. Testicular swelling can be stable, but the treatment process is generally slow, and it is easy to relapse after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use appropriate medication, and also recommend developing good lifestyle habits and proper diet during treatment. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
