What is the disease of fluid accumulation in the testicles?

The testicle is an important part of the male reproductive organ, and its role in the human body is very important. The testosterone secreted by the testicle is a very important element for the human body to exercise muscles, and the testicle also contains an important component of semen. The male testicle is a relatively fragile organ. Some people will find that there is fluid in their testicles, which is probably caused by hydrocele. Let's introduce in detail what disease is fluid in the testicle.

The tunica vaginalis, which is derived from the peritoneum of the process vaginalis when the testis descends, has a secretory function. The serous surface of the tunica vaginalis can secrete fluid, which can be absorbed at a constant rate through the spermatic vein and lymphatic system. When the secretion increases or the absorption decreases, the fluid accumulated in the tunica vaginalis sac exceeds the normal amount and forms a cyst, which is called hydrocele.

Hydrocele refers to the accumulation of excessive fluid in the vaginal cavity around the testicles. The scrotum gradually enlarges, just like the enlarged testicles. Some are soft, some are slightly hard when pinched, and the patient has a feeling of falling.

Chronic hydrocele can cause testicular atrophy and affect fertility.

The diagnosis can be made based on the presence of an enlarged sexual cyst in the scrotum and a positive transillumination test. If fluid is detected during puncture, the disease can be diagnosed, but it should be distinguished from testicular tumors, inguinal hernias, spermatocele, and hemocele.

If the diagnosis is confirmed, surgical treatment should be performed as soon as possible. If the condition is mild, conservative treatment with Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine can also be used.
