Nursing and treatment of hydrotesticular effusion in infants

The phenomenon of hydrotesticular effusion in infants is very common. Generally speaking, this phenomenon discovered after the baby is born may affect the child's future fertility and even the development of physiological organs. Many parents do not understand how to treat it, so let us introduce it to you.

Treatment of effusion

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.

What to watch out for

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.

When it comes to babies with hydrotesticular effusion, what we need to pay attention to is that most of the diseases are caused by the body's immunity. Generally speaking, low immunity plus congenital diseases require parents to seek timely treatment.
