How does newborn testicle one big one small do?

During the fetal period, the testicular development of male babies is carried out in their abdominal cavity. When they are close to birth, the testis will descend to the scrotum along a pipe (inguinal canal). When they descend, the inner layer of the abdominal wall will also be pulled down by the descending testis, forming a cystic structure connecting the testis and abdominal cavity. If a small fissure is left in the process, inguinal hernia may occur after birth.

If the baby born within 6 months has indirect inguinal hernia, it can be observed temporarily, because a few babies have the possibility of self-healing. But if the baby is more than 6 months old, the possibility of self-healing is very low, and there is also the risk of complicated incarcerated hernia, surgical treatment should be performed as soon as possible.

Hydrocele is some water in scrotum. Hydrocele is very common in children, and the incidence rate is about 1-3% in full-term infants. Preterm infants are born with low birth weight, and the incidence rate of cryptorchidism infants is higher. Hydrocele in scrotum, most children do not have any discomfort, traffic and non traffic two. Parents may occasionally find one or both scrotum swelling.

It's ok if there is no abnormal situation for so many years. If it's too bad and there is pain, it may be that a testicle is injured or stimulated to form hydronephrosis. If it's serious, it should be treated in hospital.
