Hydrocele is a collection of fluid in one or both scrotum. A hydrocele will almost always be on one side, but it can sometimes happen on both sides of the testicle, causing the testicle to swell or become abnormally large.2. Classification of testicular effusion

4. Diagnosis of testicular effusion
First, the doctor conducts an examination of the testicles. The light is passed through the scrotum to help diagnose hydrocele more accurately. If the amount of fluid is large, if the doctor cannot perform an examination with a bronchoscope, he will drain the fluid out by injection, remove the liquid, and make the examination easier.Ultrasound examination of the testicles makes it easier to check the condition of the testicles, ensuring that there will be no unintended cause.
5. Treatment of hydrocele
5.1 Clears spontaneously In infants, hydroceles may disappear spontaneously in about a year, and no treatment is required. Hydroceles in adults usually clear up on their own in about six months.

5.3 Sclerotherapy This is also called the introduction of a substance that prevents hydroceles from returning immediately after the time of intra-epididymal drainage. This approach is not universal, but is applicable to some individuals who do not respond to surgery.
5.4 Surgery In young children, if the fluid in the scrotum is too large or does not improve over time, surgery may be necessary in some cases. In adults, surgical measures are performed when the type of communication effusion is likely to lead to an inguinal hernia.
At Vinmec Da Nang International Hospital, when performing hydrocele surgery, doctors will combine the technique of sacral anesthesia, also known as epidural anesthesia through the sacral gap.
Local anesthetic blocks the spinal nerve roots located in the hard space and numbs the distribution areas; At the same time, reducing pain for the testicles during and after surgery, this technique affects most of the lower abdomen as well as the lower extremities.
