Symptoms of testicular hydrocele in children?

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.

There is a small amount of serous in the tunica vaginalis of normal testis, which is similar to the serous in abdominal cavity. It has the function of lubrication and can make the testis slide freely in it. If the formation of various types of hydrocele, not treated in time, leading to long-term hydrocele in the tunica vaginalis, affecting male fertility. Specifically, the main effects of testicular hydrocele on male fertility are as follows: the long-term existence of anterior hydrocele and the increase of internal pressure lead to testicular ischemia, poor spermatogenesis and infertility; The hydrocele around testis oppresses testis, affects blood circulation and spermatogenesis; Too much hydrocele affects the life of husband and wife; Secondary to tuberculosis, orchitis and other diseases, is not conducive to fertility.

Hydrocele in children is a cystic mass in scrotum. A small amount of hydrocele can be found in physical examination. When the amount of effusion is large, it can cause scrotal dull pain and spermatic cord involvement; In the early stage of the fetus, the testis is retroperitoneum. From July to September, the testis descends into the scrotum through the inguinal canal, and the peritoneum attached to the testis also descends to form the peritoneum sheath. After birth, the sheath process of the whole spermatic cord from the inner ring to testis gradually atrophied. The normal tunica vaginalis cavity has only a small amount of serous. When the secretion and absorption function of tunica vaginalis is out of balance, it can cause hydrocele.

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.
