Patient's question:
8-9 days after the swelling of the penis caused by urticaria subsides, the testicles appear large and small. Ultrasound reveals hydrocele.Doctor's answer:
Hydrocele in children: At one year of age, if the hydrocele has not resolved, it will manifest as significant reduction in size on one or both sides of the affected area, and the outline of the testicle may also become unclear. This can cause adverse interference to the spermatic cord and vas deferens of the child. Hydroceles that have not resolved by the age of one year require surgical treatment. It is recommended that you consult with the urology department of a regular hospital for follow-up based on your child's condition, preferably surgical removal. After the surgery, follow the doctor's instructions to change the dressing and heal the wound. At the same time, intravenous administration of cephalosporin antibiotics should be used for anti-inflammatory treatment. Generally, it takes about two weeks for the wound to heal on its own.
