Patient's question:
My husband's male colleague had a testicular hernia detected during a thorough examination at the company's health check-up a few days ago. He has been in good health previously and hasn't felt any significant discomfort. Additionally, he doesn't have a deep understanding of this condition, which makes him feel a bit baffled. So, I'd like to understand whether testicular swelling could be a hernia?Doctor's answer:
Inguinal hernia is a type of. Abdominal organs or tissues protrude through the inguinal canal and ascend along the spermatic cord to the scrotum. They most commonly reappear when standing and contract or disappear when lying down. The reason is the lower strength of the abdominal wall tissues around the inguinal canal. Inguinal hernia must be surgically treated before it can fully heal. Only discover scrotal swelling, hernia, and hydrocele of the tunica vaginalis. You can go to the hospital for a color Doppler ultrasound examination to confirm the diagnosis and determine whether it is a hernia or hydrocele of the tunica vaginalis. As an adult, whether it is a hernia or hydrocele, the most commonly used tension-free hernia repair technique currently is to use artificial mesh to reinforce the inguinal canal. This is relatively mature. If inguinal hernia is diagnosed, it is best to have surgery as soon as possible.
