How does the dropsy of the testicles in boys and its necessary treatment

In our time, a fairly common disease is the dropsy of testicles in boys( hydrocele).Often this is a congenital abnormality that can be determined even during pregnancy by ultrasound.

There is also acquired dropsy. In general, hydrocele is not a very dangerous disease that does not bring pain. Dropsy is the concentration of fluid between the shell of the testicles.

There is also a small swelling in the groin or some increase in the scrotum. Often the hydrocele develops during pregnancy and at birth does not bother the baby.

A procedure for treatment of dropsy in boys

The hydrocele in boys leads to the formation of an additional layer around the testicle, which overheats it, which provokes an inferior development. Therefore, dropsy should be treated necessarily. What are some ways to do this?

Physiological dropsy - it is often observed in babies that have just appeared and completely disappears when they reach the age of one year. But it can stay longer. This kind of dropsy doctor just watches.

In most cases it passes by itself. From the parents in such a period it is required only to protect the baby from virus-respiratory diseases, which are accompanied by coughing or sneezing or vomiting.

That is, it's important not to strain your stomach. If the doctor sees that the physiological dropsy is not eliminated by itself, he prescribes surgical treatment. The purpose of the intervention is to remove the pocket that is in the scrotum, from the main peritoneum.

Stressed dropsy - fluid in the cavity is under high pressure, it flows into the scrotum, and leave it is no longer possible. Such a dropsy is treated only by surgical intervention, which is carried out urgently at the earliest possible time.

1. Acquired hydrocephalus is treated by eliminating the main deviation of
2. in case of cardiovascular failure, appropriate medications are prescribed;
3. with epididymitis or orchitis - anti-inflammatory, antibacterial.

Symptoms and Symptoms

What are the causes of this deviation?

1. Congenital disease is a consequence of the fact that when a boy is born, the testicle must pass from the abdomen to the scrotum. It carries along with itself a connecting film( peritoneum) when moving, which causes a certain abdominal pocket, which usually closes after reaching the age of one year.
2. Acquired hydrocele is the result of some inflammatory diseases. For example, it can be:

• a side effect after scrotal surgery;
• swelling of the epididymis or testis;
• cardiovascular system failure;
• orchitis is an inflammation of the testis;
• epididymitis - inflammation of the epididymis;
• is an inflammation or stasis of blood in the testicle.

Whether it's edema of the left testicle, or dropsy of the right testicle, it can develop into inguinal or scrotal-inguinal hernia. When the pressure is high, the inguinal canal and abdominal process can expand, which happens when the boy is restless or has problems with the intestines. This can lead to the appearance of a hernia.

Surgical intervention

Depending on the type of disease, surgical intervention may be different. When dropsy, communicating with the abdominal cavity, Ross's operation is recommended. With non-communicating dropsy, the operations of the Lord, Bergman and Winckelmann are carried out.

The Lord's method is the safest and less traumatic method.
On how to cure a dropsy testicular, it is best to consult an experienced doctor. He will have to tell you about the tests necessary for the operation.

Intervention is performed under general anesthesia( most often mask anesthesia) and lasts for about forty minutes. After a few hours after the end of the surgery, the baby can be sent to the discharge.

Of course, at first it will be necessary to carefully monitor that the boy does not strain, was calm. The wound should be dry all the time, not squeezed underwear. At hand, it is better to keep paracetamol or ibuprofen.

With timely diagnosis and quality treatment in most cases, the prognosis in relation to the possibility of having children and health, favorable.
