Question

Dear friend, hello. My child told me her hand hurts. And then I got very worried. I went to the hospital for a check-up and it was said that she has pediatric scrotal hydrocele. I want to understand more. Can you please tell me about the dangers of pediatric scrotal hydrocele?

Answer

The dangers of pediatric hydrocele affect a child’s urination, walking, childbirth, and sex life as they grow up. Based on the clinical manifestations of scrotal and inguinal sac mass, scrotal swelling, combined with physical examination and ultrasound examination, a diagnosis can be made. Scrotal hydrocele refers to the closure of the two ends of the processus vaginalis during the embryonic development process, while the middle part of the processus vaginalis remains unclosed, resulting in excessive fluid accumulation.
