Parents will be very worried if any symptoms appear in their children's bodies. For example, if a child develops hydrocele disease. Many parents may not be familiar with hydrocele. In fact, hydrocele is a disease that causes problems in the urinary system of children. So, how is hydrocele in children caused?
There are two types of hydrocele in children, namely primary effusion and secondary effusion. If the child has primary hydrocele, it is related to delayed development of the pediatric lymphatic system and is a congenital developmental disorder. Secondary hydrocele, on the other hand, can be cloudy and even present with purulent or bloody features. The reason why children suffer from secondary hydrocele is due to bacterial infections in the body, caused by diseases such as epididymitis, and requires timely treatment, otherwise it will affect the development of the urinary system in children.
When a child develops hydrocele, parents can see swelling in their scrotum, but the child does not feel uncomfortable. Parents need not worry about primary hydrocele, as this disease can recover on its own and does not require special treatment. However, parents should pay attention to their children's diet and not let them consume spicy and stimulating foods, so as not to cause inflammation and worsen hydrocele.
For secondary hydrocele, surgical treatment is required to remove the fluid from the cyst and restore the child's health. There are many methods for surgical treatment of pediatric hydrocele, such as testicular sheath folding surgery, testicular sheath resection surgery, etc. If the surgical operation is not performed properly, it can cause damage, edema, infection and inflammation of the vas deferens in children, posing a threat to their health.
