Causes of hydrocele

summary

Recently, my cousin always feels that he has a serious discomfort in his lower body. I can't say that he has a feeling of falling down, which is very uncomfortable. The doctor said that hydrocele is harmful. Now let me talk about the causes of hydrocele.

Causes of hydrocele

1. Infection: the most common cause. It is often caused by tuberculosis, gonococcus and various non-specific bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus and so on. Mumps virus infection can also cause. Parasitic infections such as filariasis, which are prevalent in tropical areas, can also damage the lymphatic return of tunica vaginalis, spermatic cord and scrotum, leading to hydrocele.

2. Injury: it is also a common cause of symptomatic hydrocele. Campbell reported that 6% of the patients with hydrocele had a history of scrotal kick injury, injury, fall injury and traction injury. Abdominal, inguinal, scrotal surgery is one of the causes that we have known in recent years. Hydrocele was reported in 67% of patients after renal transplantation, 35% after varicocele and 0.9% - 2.28% after hernia repair. Hydrocele can be caused by stimulating spermatic cord and damaging lymphatic vessels in epididymis resection and inguinal lymph node dissection.

3. Tumor: cancer of testis, epididymis, tunica vaginalis, spermatic cord and other parts can invade tunica vaginalis, increase its secretion and exudation, or block the lymphatic system, resulting in hydrocele. The incidence of hydrocele in testicular tumors was 2% - 5%.

matters needing attention

Patients with hydrocele should go to the regular hospital in time, otherwise it will affect the normal life of patients and cause great mental distress to patients. We should also maintain a good mental state, good living habits, regular life, and not stay up late. It's also good for our recovery.
