    Testicular hydrocele is a symptom that occurs when the fluid in the hydrocele surrounding the testicles accumulates beyond the normal amount. So, what causes testicular effusion?

    sexual hydrocele

    The cause of the disease has not been completely established. It may be due to increased tunica metabolism, reduced digestion and absorption, or congenital factors such as defects in the tunica lymphatic vasculature. It may also be caused by undetected or healed testicular epididymitis.

    caused by disease

    There are primary diseases, such as acute orchitis, epididymitis, spermatic corditis, etc., which can stimulate extravasation of the vaginal membrane and cause hemorrhage. Vaginal surgery damages lymphatic vessels, resulting in flow obstruction, high fever, heart failure, hepatic ascites, etc., which mainly manifests as acute hydrocele; chronic secondary hemorrhage is more common in chronic orchitis, epididymitis, syphilis, tuberculosis, male testicular tumors, etc., resulting in increased hydrocele metabolism and hemorrhage. In addition, filariasis and schistosomiasis can also cause hydrocele.

    How to treat testicular effusion

    1. No treatment is required. When newborns have testicular hydrocele, it often subsides spontaneously before the age of 2, so treatment is not urgent. If it does not subside after the age of 2, there are many cases that can be cured by the age of four or five. If the disease still does not heal after the age of six, a puncture is performed to extract the fluid. Most of the symptoms no longer occur after liposuction.

    2. Injection treatment: Inject irritating drugs such as siliconin, sodium fish oil, etc. into the intrathecal cavity after withdrawing the fluid to cause inflammatory adhesion to resolve the intrathecal cavity. This method reflects a large reaction, incomplete adhesion, and produces multilocular hydrocele. This brings more difficulties to surgical treatment. Fewer applications.

    3. Surgical treatment of congenital hydrocele cannot be treated by the above two methods, and surgical treatment is the main method. The purpose of surgical treatment is to perform high ligation of the hernia neck at the inner ring line to block the dirty liver and ascites. The following hernia sacs are not resolved.

    4. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment experts believe that the condition is caused by qi and blood deficiency, dampness, coldness, and stagnation of the lower burner. It is advisable to use products that replenish qi and consolidate the surface, warm the cold and dampness, and regulate qi. Hydrocele is a syndrome of water and edema in the vagina. Symptoms include swelling and pain in the genital area, sweating during vaginal discharge, or swelling and bright amethyst-like swelling in the genital area, which is neither red nor hot; or there is itching, ulceration and yellow fluid discharge; or there is a watery sound when the lower abdomen is pressed.
