What to do if you have hydrotesticular effusion?

When a man has fluid accumulation in the testicular membrane, it is sometimes a relatively normal phenomenon. As long as the accumulation is within the normal range, no treatment is required, especially in children. When the fluid accumulation in the testicular membrane disappears with age. When the accumulation reaches a certain level, treatment is required. Patients can choose surgical treatment or traditional Chinese medicine treatment according to their own situation.

Treatment of hydrotesticular effusion

1. When a newborn has hydrocele,

It usually disappears by itself before the age of two, so there is no need to rush to treat it. If it still does not disappear after the age of two, many cases can recover by themselves at the age of four or five. If it still does not heal after the age of six, a puncture is performed to draw fluid, and most of them will not recur after aspiration. This method is not suitable for adults. After the fluid is drawn, adults will grow up again in a short time.

2. Injection therapy

After the fluid is drained, irritating drugs such as silicine and sodium morrhuate are injected into the vaginal cavity to cause inflammatory adhesions and eliminate the vaginal cavity. This method has a large reaction, incomplete adhesions, and forms multilocular hydrocele. It brings more difficulties to surgical treatment. It is rarely used.

3. Surgical treatment

Congenital hydrocele cannot be treated with the above two methods and is mainly treated with surgery. The purpose of the surgery is to perform a high ligation of the hernia neck at the internal ring to block the downward flow of ascites. The hernia sac below can be left untreated.

4. Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment

Chinese medicine experts believe that according to the symptoms, it is a disease of body weakness, cold and dampness stagnation in the lower part of the body, and it is appropriate to use Qi-boosting and exterior-strengthening, warming and transforming cold and dampness, and supplemented with Qi-promoting products. Hydrocele is a disease of scrotal edema. Symptoms include swelling and pain in the scrotum, occasional sweating, or swelling and shiny crystal-like scrotum, not red or hot; or itching, rupture and discharge of yellow fluid; or water sounds when pressing the lower abdomen.

Inspection method

Testicular hydrocele examination: Testicular hydrocele and spermatic hydrocele are generally spherical or oval. Infantile hydrocele is pear-shaped and gradually tapers in the groin. Communicating hydrocele is spherical or pear-shaped and may shrink or disappear when lying flat. Sometimes the communicating channel is very small and can only shrink slightly after lying in bed for a long time, so it is easy to misdiagnose as infantile hydrocele or testicular hydrocele. The surface of the mass is smooth, elastic, and cystic, and there may be a sense of fluctuation if the tension is low.
