Hydrocele in men, and in a different way - hydrocele,is an accumulation of fluid in the membranes, which leads to an increase in the testicle visually, an increase in the scrotum and swelling in the groin area. There are two types of dropsy testicles - communicating and isolated. With communicating dropsy, fluid can flow from the testicle to the inguinal region (through an open vaginal canal), and when isolated, it is only in the shell of the testicle. The commonly reported dropsy can disappear during the first months of the boy’s life if the vaginal canal becomes overgrown. Next is the operation to extract fluid from the testicle. If you delay with surgery, this increases the risk of remaining fruitless.
In most cases, limited dropsywill pass without any treatment during the first six months of the child’s life. Usually dropsy of the testicle is a consequence of birth trauma or hormonal disorders. In some cases, this is due to the fact that the little boys have not yet established an outflow of lymph from the genitals, which can provoke dropsy.
Hydrocele in adolescents is associated with eitherinjury, or may be a complication of surgery to remove a varicocele or inguinal hernia. Doctors try to cure this disease in a conservative way, but if there is no success during the first three months of treatment, then the question is raised about the operation.
Hydroscopic testis in men can be detectedimmediately at birth. Usually, the first operation is done at the same time, and in case of an unfavorable course, the disease may recur, and the operation will be needed again. The fact that the disease can not be cured, the question is not even raised, otherwise the man may remain fruitless. After all, normal spermatogenesis is possible only at a certain temperature, which is maintained in the testicle area. Dropsy prevents this (fluid contributes to overheating), therefore, the function of the male organ is also disturbed.
Diagnosed dropsy testicle in men is easy.Visually determined by the increase in one testicle, swelling of the scrotum. Usually, the pain is not observed only if the testicle is not infected and is not squeezed by fluid. More accurate diagnosis is carried out using ultrasound. Dropsy of the testicles is most often operated on, although recently the method of piercing the needle and sucking the fluid has been used, but this method suffers from a large number of relapses. During surgery, it is important to observe a thin technique - carefully separate the vas deferens, the inguinal nerve and the vessels that feed the testicle. Usually after the operation there are no problems with the possibility of becoming a father. Only five percent of cases, the operation becomes the cause of infertility.
Hydroscopic testicle in men whose treatment wasperformed surgically, requires a certain recovery period. In the area of the incision on the scrotum, painful sensations associated with damage to the nervous tissue can remain. Usually in the period from six months to a year they disappear. In order for dropsy in men no longer cause them anxiety, great attention should be paid to the postoperative period. Well, if the operation is done in childhood - the psychological trauma is much less, and discomfort too. The only thing you need to watch out for is the absence of sudden movements that can lead to hematomas in the groin and scrotum. After surgery, analgesics, which relieve pain, are usually given, the first week, in order not to strain, patients take laxatives. After the operation, you should not wear a slimming underwear - otherwise the testicle can be fixed above the scrotum. With a successful operation, the outcome of the disease is favorable.
