Children hydrocele symptoms?

Hydrocele in children is one of the common diseases of scrotum in children. Hydrocele in children often appears unilateral scrotum swelling gradually. The tumor can be oval or pear shaped. It is elastic and cystic when touched. Generally, it is not painful, and it may have swelling discomfort. It has a sense of transparency when irradiating the tumor with a flashlight.

The main difference between indirect inguinal hernia and mass is that the mass will not disappear due to massage or upward pushing, and there is no sound of intestinal Qi passing through the water; The hydrocele was cystic when touched;

When the mass is exposed to the strong light of flashlight, the hydrocele of tunica vaginalis can transmit light, that is, red and bright. In case of testicular hydrocele, there is a black opaque testis in the red bright area. Hydrocele of spermatic cord or tunica vaginalis may heal itself in infancy. Hydrocele can be extracted and injected with cortisone acetate or treated by operation in infancy. Because of the existence of channels, the communicating hydrocele is mainly treated by operation.

matters needing attention

If the mass of hydrocele is small and the tension is not high, there is no need to rush to treat it within 1 year old, because there is still a chance of self regression. If the mass is large in size, high in tension, and compression of spermatic cord and testis, surgical treatment should be performed. The purpose of operation is to avoid testicular atrophy due to blood circulation disturbance caused by spermatic cord compression. This operation needs general anesthesia for the child. After the operation, the child will feel pain for a day or two, but it will be OK later. This is a small operation. If the operation goes smoothly, the child can be discharged in a week.
