Patient's question:
My son is now 22 months old. One and a half months ago, a mass was found on the upper left side of his testicle. After examination, it was diagnosed as hydrocele of the spermatic cord, which has now disappeared. Should we avoid surgery if there is an oval one? If not, will it recur in the future?Doctor's answer:
Hello, hydrocele refers to an accumulation of excess fluid in the spermatic cord, causing a localized lump. If the condition is small, it does not require treatment. However, if it is large, surgery may be necessary. In this case, medication is ineffective. You should still go to the hospital and consult a doctor to see if treatment is needed.As everyone knows, varicocele can cause significant harm to men, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, pay attention to dietary issues and avoid foods. Maintain a balanced diet. Additionally, regular follow-up appointments may be necessary when needed.
