What are the methods to eliminate hydrocele?

Testicular effusion is a common disease in children nowadays. It will disappear on its own before the age of two, so many parents do not treat it. However, if the child does not disappear after the age of two, but becomes more and more serious, it should be considered that it will affect the child's future development system. Parents can usually treat it through surgery or local minimally invasive methods, but they should also take personal precautions.

Hydrocele in children

In newborns, hydrocele usually disappears by itself before the age of two, so there is no need to rush for treatment. If it still does not disappear after the age of two, aspiration should be performed. Most cases will not recur after aspiration.

If the above solution cannot cure the disease, other treatment methods should be adopted. Miao medicine believes that if the kidney is insufficient, the qi transformation will be unfavorable, and water and dampness will stagnate inside the body. If the spleen is weak and the liver is depressed, the meridians will be blocked, and water and dampness will flow down and gather in the front yin. If the three internal organs are weak, this disease will occur. Trauma and infection can easily cause blood stasis and water and dampness to flow, which can also lead to this disease.

What to watch out for

Hydrocele in children is a cystic mass in the scrotum. A small amount of fluid accumulation may not cause any discomfort and is often found during a physical examination.

When the amount of fluid accumulation is large, it can cause blunt pain in the scrotum and a pulling sensation in the spermatic cord. In the early fetus, the testicles are located behind the peritoneum. From July to September, they descend through the inguinal canal into the scrotum. The peritoneum attached to the testicles also descends to form the peritoneal processus vaginalis.

After birth, the processus vaginalis of the entire spermatic cord from the internal ring to the testis gradually shrinks and resection. The processus vaginalis of the testis forms a cystic testicular tunica vaginalis. There is only a small amount of plasma in the normal tunica vaginalis cavity. When the secretion and absorption functions of the tunica vaginalis lose balance, it can cause hydrocele.
