What are the causes of hydrocele?

Hydrocele is a common reproductive system disease in men. After suffering from this disease, the patient will fall into great pain, especially the genitals will be severely swollen and painful. In severe cases, he dare not touch it, and his basic life such as going to the toilet and taking a bath is affected. What are the reasons for men to get this disease? If you want to know, let's find out with the editor.

Secondary hydrocele has primary diseases, such as acute orchitis, epididymitis, spermatic cord inflammation, etc., which stimulate the increase of hydrocele exudation and cause hydrocele. Scrotal surgery damages lymphatic vessels, causing reflux obstruction, as well as high fever, heart failure, ascites, etc., which manifest as acute hydrocele; chronic secondary hydrocele is common in chronic orchitis, epididymitis, syphilis, tuberculosis, testicular tumors, etc., causing increased secretion of the hydrocele and accumulation of hydrocele. In addition, filariasis and schistosomiasis can also cause hydrocele. .

It may also be due to increased secretion and decreased absorption of the tunica vaginalis, or it may be caused by undetected or healed epididymitis. It is also related to congenital factors, such as defects in the lymphatic vascular system of the tunica vaginalis, and the disease progresses slowly. When the testis descends from the retroperitoneum to the scrotum, the peritoneum descends with it and becomes the tunica vaginalis. The tunica vaginalis surrounding the epididymis is the visceral tunica vaginalis, and there is another layer outside it called the parietal tunica vaginalis. There is only a small amount of fluid between the two layers. The processes vaginalis that descend with the testis are completely closed after birth and become cord-like objects. If the processus vaginalis is not completely closed, the fluid in the abdominal cavity (ascites) can flow along the unclosed lumen to the periphery of the testicle or stay on a certain section of the spermatic cord, forming a hydrocele called congenital or communicating hydrocele. If there is too much fluid between the two layers of the testicular tunica vaginalis, it is a testicular hydrocele.

The above are the main reasons why hydrocele occurs. Patients need to pay attention to the treatment and must find out their primary disease, because only treating the surface will not relieve the root cause. The editor also recommends that patients should focus on recuperating, not to have wild thoughts, and not to put too much pressure on themselves or have negative emotions.
