Patient's question:
The baby started showing one testicle being larger than the other at around five or six months, and it was quite hard. Now at one year and three months, it hasn't improved. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
When the baby is around five or six months old, the condition of one testicle being larger and harder than the other reappears, which could be hydrocele of the tunica vaginalis. This situation is likely to require surgical treatment. It is necessary to go to the hospital for a color Doppler ultrasound to make a diagnosis, and then determine the treatment plan. The testicles can be relieved, but the treatment period is usually long, and there is a high risk of recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used according to the symptoms. Additionally, it is recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle and have a proper diet during the treatment period.
