Question
My child says her hand is painful, and after visiting the hospital, it was found to have a pediatric hydrocele. What are the dangers of a pediatric hydrocele?
Answer
Pediatric hydrocele can affect a child’s urination, walking, childbirth, and sexual life. It can be diagnosed by examining the scrotum and groin for a cystic mass, scrotal swelling, and combining physical examination with ultrasound. Pediatric hydrocele refers to the excess accumulation of fluid in the scrotal sheath, which occurs when the two ends of the scrotal sheath close during embryonic development, but the middle part remains open.
