Question

What is a hydrocele? What diseases can pediatric surgery treat? Which symptoms are considered pediatric internal medicine? What are the possible causes of scrotal swelling in boys?

Answer

The formation of a hydrocele is generally divided into two types: congenital and acquired. Congenital hydroceles are common in infants and often present at birth without obvious symptoms, making them easily overlooked. Acquired hydroceles are more common in adults and are usually caused by infections of the testicle or epididymis, trauma, or parasitic infections. Additionally, if a child’s hair appears yellow, it may be a sign of zinc deficiency. It is recommended to undergo a trace element test and supplement zinc according to the results. In terms of diet, you can increase the intake of high-zinc foods such as beef, pork, chicken liver, pork liver, and pork blood in moderation.
