Causes of hydrocele

summary

My son is 4 years old. Recently, I found that his scrotum is enlarged and soft to the touch, like a lot of water. Husband's friend is a doctor, said that is the testicular hydrocele, need surgery. Let's talk about the causes of hydrocele.

Causes of hydrocele

First, the cause of hydrocele in the baby is that the congenital hydrocele is caused by incomplete closure of the sheath tube in different parts of the fetus before birth. The peritoneal fluid accumulates at a certain level through the abnormally closed sheath duct, forming various types of hydrocele.

Second, hydrocele is due to the fact that some liquid can not be discharged from the frying pan. There is a small amount of serous fluid in the normal testicular tunica vaginalis, which is similar to the serous fluid in the abdominal cavity. It has a lubricating effect and can make the testis slide freely. Under normal conditions, the wall of tunica vaginalis can secrete and absorb serous fluid and keep its volume stable. If the tunica vaginalis itself and its surrounding organs or tissues are diseased and the secretion and absorption function of tunica vaginalis is out of balance, various types of hydrocele of tunica vaginalis will be formed.

Thirdly, the pathogenesis of hydrocele is that hydrocele is secreted by the wall of the tunica vaginalis and absorbed by the cavity wall. When the amount of secretion is greater than the amount of resorption, hydrocele is produced. The wall of congenital hydrocele is thin, smooth and soft, and it is easy to separate from the surrounding tissues.

matters needing attention

After the operation of hydrocele, we should pay attention to the application of antibiotics, and pay attention to hygiene in life, develop good hygiene habits, prevent and control infection, so as to ensure the therapeutic effect of operation. For older patients with poor physique, symptomatic treatment can be given to strengthen nutrition supply.
