How to treat hydrocele and epididymitis in babies

Patient's question:

A newborn baby who is 8 days old has ascites -3, epididymitis, and pleural effusion. What is the cause, how is it treated, and what interference does it have on future growth and development? Thank you!

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, in the case you mentioned, some children can gradually resolve it within 100 days, so you don't need to be too anxious. This condition is quite common, dear. Many children also experience a recurrence of this condition. If it cannot be resolved within 100 days, then the baby may need surgery if they are older. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If it is not treated promptly, it can affect the overall health condition. Therefore, patients should receive treatment promptly according to their symptoms, and in daily life, they should avoid overexertion and pay attention to personal hygiene.
