How is hydrocele treated

summary

Sometimes the child's penis shrinks into the foreskin, which can cause dysuria and walking inconvenience. There are masses in the groin and scrotum on both sides. The masses can disappear completely after lying on the back, and appear slowly after standing. The doctor said it was hydrocele after examination. Today, let me learn how to treat hydrocele.

How is hydrocele treated

First, the infant's hydrocele is not serious. If it still exists after one year old, radical operation can be considered. The time can be from two years old to preschool. However, due to the fact that a considerable number of children with hydrocele can self heal or recover after non-surgical treatment, it is not necessary to rush to surgery in general, but to follow up and observe first. Special attention should be paid to protection here, so as to reduce the chance of damage to the enlarged hydrocele.

Second, many babies are born with hydrocele, hydrocele after birth. The effusion was absorbed by one year old. I consulted the pediatrician, if not absorbed, the best operation age is 3 years old. Minor surgery, it's OK. Usually pay more attention to observation, getting smaller and smaller is good.

Third, the baby's physical condition can be observed in time. Children with hydrocele within 3 months have self regression, and children after 6 months should be operated in time. Even some children with hydrocele and hernia can be cured by minimally invasive surgery in a professional hernia hospital. 　

matters needing attention

The baby's hydrocele is not a big problem, but if you do surgery, you need to pay attention to postoperative maintenance, mainly the application of postoperative antibiotics, develop good health habits, prevent and control infection, to ensure the treatment effect of surgery. For older patients with poor physique, symptomatic treatment can be given to strengthen nutrition supply.
