Therefore, many parents want to fully understand the diagnosis method of hydrocele in children in order to protect the health of their children's testicles.

Diagnostic Methods

Children with hydrocele generally have no systemic symptoms. Most of the time, family members discover a lump in the groin or scrotum on one side, or a local lump on both sides. It grows slowly and does not cause pain. When the lump is large, there may be a feeling of heaviness and distension. Because the processus vaginalis is relatively small, the fluid flowing into the patent tunica vaginalis cavity is not easy to flow back into the abdominal cavity, so the mass does not change significantly in size. If the opening of the unclosed sheath is relatively thick, after lying flat all night, you will see that the lump has shrunk in the morning.

The diagnosis can be made by clinical examination of a clearly demarcated cystic mass in the lateral groin or scrotum with no obvious pedicle connecting it to the abdominal cavity and a positive transillumination test. Depending on the location, there are two types of hydrocele: spermatic cord and testicular hydrocele.

1. The mass of hydrocele is limited to the spermatic cord. It is generally small in size and oval in shape. The testicles can be clearly felt below the mass. The mass can be moved by pulling the testicles.

2. The mass of testicular hydrocele hangs at the bottom of the scrotum and is oval or round in shape. If the mass has a lot of tension, the testicles generally cannot be palpated. The light transmission test was positive.
