Pediatric scrotal hydrocele is caused by an accumulation of fluid in the tunica vaginalis sac that exceeds the normal amount. It usually resolves spontaneously as the child grows older, but if it does not disappear, 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.
