Pediatric hydrocele is a common disease in urology. When children suffer from the disease, there are generally no obvious systemic symptoms. It is often found by parents that there is a lump in one side of the groin or scrotum. Pediatric hydrocele does not cause pain, but if there is a feeling of heaviness when the lump is large, how does pediatric hydrocele form?
There are many reasons for the formation of hydrocele in children, and the most common one is congenital. This condition usually resolves on its own after the baby is one or two years old, so parents do not need to worry too much. They should pay attention to observation in daily life. Furthermore, some children may experience this phenomenon due to infection with hemochromatosis or local poor blood circulation leading to hydrocele. If the hydrocele is not treated properly for a long time, it can cause insufficient blood supply to the testicles.
Pediatric hydrocele may also be caused by local infections, which often occur during trauma during birth. Effective treatment should be sought to avoid serious disease infections and even testicular atrophy.
If the hydrocele in children does not improve for a long time, surgery should be performed under the guidance of a doctor. The surgical wound is usually located in the groin area. After surgery, attention should be paid to keeping the wound dry to avoid infection. At the same time, it is also necessary to avoid diseases such as colds and coughs as much as possible to prevent increased abdominal pressure, which will affect wound healing.
