Patient's question:
My son is over 5 years old this year. In December 2014, it was discovered that his right scrotum was swollen. A color Doppler ultrasound diagnosis revealed hydrocele. After treatment with a medication bag at Shandong Hernia Hospital, there was some improvement. However, in February 2015, it was found that his left side had also swelled. Hospital examination revealed bilateral communicating hydrocele. The doctor recommended surgical treatment, but I was concerned about the potential impact of anesthesia on his brain, so we continued using the medication bag. However, the current treatment is not effective, and the previously improved right side has now also swelled. It returns to normal when he wakes up in the morning, but it is larger before he goes to bed at night, especially when his activity level increases. I would like to ask experts if there are any treatments with fewer side effects for children.Doctor's answer:
Hello, teach you a home remedy: roast coarse salt [large grains]. Wrap it in cloth and use it for hot compress. Avoid overheating and burning the skin. 15 days.
