After birth, a child becomes an independent individual. The child has just been born from the mother's body and is unfamiliar to the world. Due to the weak resistance of the child, it is very easy to get sick at the beginning. Parents must always pay attention to the changes in the baby. So how to check for hydrocele in children?
Children with hydrocele generally do not show obvious abnormalities. If there is secondary hydrocele, there may be manifestations of the primary disease. If it is caused by inflammation, there will be an increase in white blood cells. If it is caused by hypoalbuminemia, the patient's serum protein levels will significantly decrease.
During the physical examination, the doctor can see through visual examination that the scrotum on one side of the patient is enlarged, and the hydrocele is mostly oval or pear shaped. Palpation can reveal that the surface of the scrotal mass is smooth, without tenderness, and cystic, but generally cannot touch the testicles and epididymis. In addition, in darker places, the light of a flashlight is projected below the scrotal mass. If the liquid contained in the scrotal mass can shine above the scrotal mass, otherwise it is not transparent.
By using the above methods, different conditions of the patient can be diagnosed. After a clear diagnosis, treatment can be given to the child through medication, surgery, and other methods. After treatment, it is necessary to give the child a light diet, consume sufficient fruits and vegetables, and ensure smooth bowel movements. At the same time, it is necessary to monitor the condition of the child.
