Examination methods of hydrocele

summary

My brother's baby is hydrocele. At the beginning, we didn't understand it. We didn't know what was going on. When the child was crying, the testicle would become bigger. At ordinary times, there was a problem with the shape. Let me introduce the inspection method of hydrocele.

Examination methods of hydrocele

First, hydrocele is a common male disease. At 8-9 months of gestational age, the testis descends from the abdominal cavity into the scrotum. When the testis descends into the scrotum, the passage from the abdominal cavity to the scrotum will be closed. If it is not closed, it is also called peritoneum sheath insufficiency in medicine. The result is that the peritoneal fluid flows to scrotum when the abdominal pressure increases, forming congenital communicating hydrocele. If the spermatic cord is closed at both ends of the abdominal cavity and testis, a congenital hydrocele of the spermatic cord will be formed. The hydrocele of testis can also be caused by infection of testis and epididymis, trauma, tumor and infection of hemofilariasis.

Second, the examination of hydrocele: the first is the basic examination. The hydrocele of testicular tunica vaginalis is soft, elastic and cystic. It can't touch the testis and epididymis. The light transmission test is positive. The hydrocele of spermatic cord sheath is located in the groin or above the testis, and has a clear boundary with the testis. There is pear shaped mass in scrotum and testis can not be touched clearly. When communicating hydrocele, the hydrocele in supine position can be reduced or disappeared. Then we need to do further examination. B-ultrasound can further confirm the diagnosis, which is of great significance to the secondary hydrocele of testicular tunica vaginalis suspected to be caused by testicular tumor.

Third, the incidence rate of hydrocele in the tropics is related to filariasis infection. Therefore, mosquito control measures are important. The diagnosis of this disease can be summarized as follows: 1. Scrotal cystic mass, light transmission test (+), if the tunica vaginalis thickening, light transmission test (-). 2. Hydrocele of spermatic cord sheath is usually small and located above testis. 3. Hydrocele of tunica vaginalis of testis, if there is more hydrocele, the testis is often not touched. 4. In communicating hydrocele of tunica vaginalis, the size of cyst may change with the change of body position.

matters needing attention

The patients with hydrocele should eat semi liquid food as much as possible, and easy to digest food to reduce the burden of gastrointestinal tract. But nutrition must be comprehensive, high protein, high vitamin, low fat and low salt diet, spicy stimulation, fat, sweet, thick and greasy, barbecue and pickled food should not be eaten as far as possible. Avoid spicy food such as chili. Strictly abide by the doctor's instructions and follow-up. The operation of hydrocele should pay attention to the hydrocele turnover operation, and try to avoid the operation site from being stained with water within seven days after operation.
