HYDROCELE
⁃ Hydrocele is common in newborns and usually disappears without treatment within the first year.
⁃ Older men can develop hydroceles, sometimes due to inflammation or injury.
⁃ CAUSES
⁃ Towards the end of pregnancy, a male child’s testicles descend from his abdomen into the scrotum. The scrotum is the sac of skin that holds the testicles once they descend.⁃ During development, each testicle has a naturally occurring sac around it that contains fluid.
⁃ Normally, this sac closes itself and the body absorbs the fluid inside during the baby’s first year.
⁃ SYMPTOMS
⁃ Pain⁃ Swollen scrotum
⁃ Infertility
