Patient's question:
My precious son is now one and a half months old. Taking time to visit a hospital, he was diagnosed with hydrocele of the tunica vaginalis. The left side measures 5220MM, and the right side measures 51MM21MM, with a few scattered weak echoes floating inside. Can the application of traditional Chinese medicine be used to treat hydrocele of the tunica vaginalis in young children?Doctor's answer:
Hello friend, it is a great pleasure to serve you. In general, if a newborn under two years old develops hydrocele of the tunica vaginalis, treatment is usually not required, as it can resolve on its own. The effect of topical application of traditional Chinese medicine is generally not significant. Regular follow-up examinations can be scheduled. In adults or the elderly, hydrocele of the tunica vaginalis usually does not disappear on its own. If the symptoms are mild, treatment may not be necessary; if the symptoms are severe, medication or surgical treatment may be required.
