How to treat hydrotesticular effusion in children

Under normal circumstances, there will be a small amount of fluid in the male testicles. These fluids act as lubricants, allowing the testicles to move freely. Of course, these fluids will have a lot of impact on male fertility. Sometimes due to some reasons, the testicular fluid will increase. Under normal circumstances, there are no obvious symptoms when the fluid increases.

How to treat hydrotesticular effusion in children

1. Hydrocele in newborn babies often disappears on its own before the age of two, so there is no need to rush for treatment. If it does not disappear after two years of age. Then perform puncture and fluid extraction. Most cases do not recur after aspiration.

2. If the above treatment options cannot cure the disease, other treatment methods must be adopted. Miao medicine believes that kidney deficiency will lead to poor qi transformation and internal retention of water and dampness. When 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 anterior genitals. This disease will occur when the three organs are weak. Trauma and infection can easily cause blood stasis and blockage of collaterals, and water retention can also lead to this disease.

Precautions for children with hydrotesticular effusion

Hydrocele in children is a cystic mass in the scrotum. A small amount of fluid accumulation may not cause discomfort and is often discovered during physical examinations. When the amount of fluid accumulation is large, it can cause dull pain in the scrotum and a feeling of pulling on the spermatic cord; in the early fetus, the testicles are behind the peritoneum, and from July to September, they descend through the inguinal canal into the scrotum, and 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 atrophies and retracts. The processus vaginalis of the testis forms the sac-like tunica vaginalis proper of the testis. There is only a small amount of serous fluid in the normal tunica vaginalis cavity. When the secretion and absorption functions of the tunica vaginalis lose balance, hydrocele may occur.

Effects of hydrotesticular effusion in children

1. Compression of testicles:

The hydrocele around the testicles compresses the testicles, affecting blood circulation and subsequently affecting spermatogenesis.

2. Soak the testicles:

The testicles are immersed in hydrocele for a long time, which causes compensatory enlargement and thickening of sperm under pressure. Affects normal development.

3. Wrap around the penis:

If the hydrocele is too large, the penis will be wrapped by the scrotal skin, which is not conducive to normal sexual life and will also affect fertility.

4. Complications:

People who are prone to secondary diseases such as tuberculosis and orchitis are not conducive to fertility.
