Can hydrocele of testicles heal on its own?

The testicles are also an important part of the male reproductive system. If there is a problem with a man's testicles, it will actually have a great impact on a man's physical health. However, hydrocele is also a reproductive system disease with a high incidence rate, especially in children aged 6 to 18 months. At this time, many people are also more confused, can hydrocele be self-healing?

There are many causes of hydrocele, some of which can heal on their own. For example, most hydrocele in infants and young children will heal on their own before the age of 2. If the hydrocele is caused by inflammation, most of them can be cured after anti-inflammatory treatment. However, if it is a communicating hydrocele, which means that the testicular caecum and the abdominal cavity are connected, surgery must be performed to block the channel. In addition, hydrocele caused by trauma, tumors, and hypoproteinemia all need treatment to improve.
