What is the disease of scrotal effusion in children?

The occurrence of scrotal effusion in children is a relatively serious condition. It is mainly caused by scrotal inflammation, but it may also be caused by hydrocele. Therefore, mothers should understand the cause of scrotal effusion in children before treating it. Scrotal effusion in children is a common scrotal and testicular disease, which has a great impact on the child's penis and may affect the child's genital development.

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. Due to scrotal trauma,

Hydrocele caused by inflammation or tumor of the testicle and epididymis and filariasis is called secondary hydrocele. It often has symptoms of the primary lesion.

use

Hydrocele of the testis in infants and young children is a hydrocele formed when the processus vaginalis vaginalis fails to close before and after birth, which causes the accumulation and expansion of fluid to form a pear-shaped cavity. Some patients with congenital hydrocele have a connection between the hydrocele and the peritoneal cavity.

The hydrocele is a communicating type formed by the passage of fluid in the scrotum cavity. The fluid can flow back and forth from the scrotum cavity with the change of body position. Clinically, the scrotum often changes in size. Long-term chronic hydrocele can have an adverse effect on the blood supply and temperature regulation of the testicles due to the high tension. Severe cases may cause testicular atrophy. If the effusion is severe and affects both testicles, it is likely to affect the child's future fertility. Therefore, taking safe and effective treatment methods in a timely manner according to the specific situation of the child is the key to avoiding the occurrence of sequelae.

treat

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.

Precautions

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 the spermatic cord; in the early fetus, the testicles are behind the peritoneum, and from July to September, they descend into the scrotum through the inguinal canal, 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.
