Can surgery be performed on one swollen testicle in a child?

Patient's question:

Hydrocele is divided into testicular hydrocele and inguinal hydrocele based on location. Can a child with unilateral testicular edema have surgery?

Doctor's answer:

Hydrocele is classified into testicular hydrocele and inguinal hydrocele based on the location. It is determined whether it is a communicating hydrocele by whether it is with the abdominal cavity. The main treatment is surgery, with a very low recurrence rate. For an individual, it is meaningless whether it recurs or not. It is likely a hydrocele, so it is recommended to have a timely examination to see if surgical treatment is suitable. It is advised to go to the hospital for an examination and follow the doctor's advice.
