How to treat hydrocele in newborn baby

Hydrocele refers to the accumulation of excess fluid between the two layers of the tunica vaginalis of the testis. Most hydroceles have no obvious cause and are called primary hydrocele. Its occurrence and development are slow. The patient may be asymptomatic. Hydrocele caused by scrotal trauma, inflammation or tumor of the testicles and epididymis, and filariasis is called secondary hydrocele. It often has symptoms of the primary lesion.

Hydrocele in newborn babies usually 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.

If the above options do not cure the disease, other treatment options may be considered. 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.

Hydrocele is divided into testicular hydrocele, spermatic cord hydrocele, communicating hydrocele, infantile hydrocele, mixed hydrocele, etc. Hydrocele can be divided into primary and secondary. The primary one is less common in clinical practice, while the secondary one is mostly caused by acute epididymitis, trauma, filariasis, schistosomiasis, etc. Patients with hydrocele should actively seek medical treatment. Although this disease does not affect marriage or fertility, it is best to get married after surgery. Otherwise, if the hydrocele increases, it may affect sexual life. If it is not treated for a long time, the hydrocele may compress the testicles and affect spermatogenesis. In addition, the fluid wrapping makes it impossible for the testicles to dissipate heat normally, which may eventually affect fertility.

The harm of hydrocele is lifelong. Patients must actively go to the hospital for medical treatment in the early stages of the disease and should not delay, which will lead to the deterioration of the disease. The treatment of hydrocele is very simple. As long as the patient actively cooperates after the illness, I believe he will be able to recover and live a happy life.
