There are several types of hydrocele
summary
My baby in a few months found that his scrotum some different, one side of the scrotum is larger, later I know is suffering from hydrocele, but the doctor said that there is no need to do surgery or medication treatment, the child's situation may be slowly absorbed, so when can hydrocele be absorbed, hydrocele has several cases! Let me share with you about the baby.
There are several types of hydrocele
First, it can be divided into four types: testicular hydrocele, communicating hydrocele, seminal caruncle hydrocele and mixed hydrocele. The hydrocele of infant is not serious, and there is still the possibility of self 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. 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.
