Question
The child is six years old and feels that their nutritional absorption is poor, and their complexion is a bit pale.
Answer
Inguinal or testicular hydrocele in infancy has the possibility of spontaneous absorption, so there’s no need to rush into surgery for the child. If it’s a communicating hydrocele, surgery is necessary, but the timing of the surgery should also be chosen. If the hydrocele lump is not large and the tension is not high, there’s no need to rush into treatment, and it can be waited until the child is 7 or 8 years old before undergoing surgery.
