Doctor's answer:

Hydroceles in children can gradually recover through growth and development, so often a harsh treatment method is initially decided upon. Currently, surgery is prone to complications.
Advice: You can observe strictly or wear a hydrocele belt for treatment. If the hydrocele does not fully recover by the age of 6-8 before school age, surgery can be performed for repair. Local enhancement debridement or the use of mesh patches in combination yields good results, and you can be discharged after one week.
During the observation period, if the hydrocele cannot be reduced and is accompanied by local pain, it is important to seek medical attention promptly for surgical treatment.
