The best treatment time of hydrocele

summary

My baby found that his scrotum was different a few months ago. One side of the scrotum was larger. Later I learned that he was suffering from hydrocele. But the doctor said that there was no need for surgery or medication. The child's condition may be absorbed slowly. When can hydrocele be absorbed? If not, when is the best time for treatment ？ Let me share with you about the baby.

The best treatment time of hydrocele

First, the hydrocele in infants is not serious, and there is still the possibility of spontaneous closure and regression within 1 year old. But if it still exists after one year old, radical operation can be considered, and the time can be chosen 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.
