Question
What causes pediatric scrotal hydrocele?
Answer
There are many causes of pediatric scrotal hydrocele, generally resulting from an accumulation of fluid in the tunica vaginalis sac that exceeds the normal amount. Most cases resolve spontaneously as the child grows older, but if it does not, surgery may be necessary when the child is older to avoid affecting testicular development. It is recommended that you consult a professional hospital for examination.
