Patient's question:
I am an elderly person. For a few days, I felt my testicles floating after urination, which caused me great pain. I often felt feverish and swollen without realizing it. Then I realized it was hydrocele of the tunica vaginalis. What should I do about hydrocele of the right testicle?Doctor's answer:
Normal testicular tunica vaginalis contains a very small amount of fluid. If the fluid is excessive, it is called hydrocele to smoothly protect the testis. The concept of hydrocele should include hydrocele, hydrocele hematoma, hydrocele abscess, and hydrocele lymphangioma. It has various different causes such as inflammation, trauma, tumors, etc. Orchitis and testitis can lead to hydrocele. Hydrocele is the most common type of hydrocele in the tunica vaginalis and can be found in all age groups.
