[Q&A] My son was born the paed detected hydrocele in his scrotum.

Question: Hello doctors, when my son was born the paed detected hydrocele in his scrotum. The paed advised that my son will need to undergo a surgery to seal the opening should it not auto-heal by the time he turns 1. My son is now two years old and the hydrocele is still there. We are very concerned about the surgery. Will hydrocele have any impact on his well-being especially later when he hits puberty? Kindly advise, thank you very much for your sharing.

Answer: Hydrocele dipanggil Burut Air dalam BM. Ia bermakna ada suatu ‘pouch’ air di dalam kawasan kantung skrotum di mana telur testis berada, maka ia nampak mcm telur bengkak. Ia tidak bahaya, dan biasanya boleh hilang dalam masa setahun. Ia disebabkan oleh satu lubang saluran yang sepatutnya hilang tetapi masih kekal, tetapi sangat kecil maka hanya air yang mengalir masuk dan berkumpul. Sekiranya lubang itu besar, usus dan lemak boleh masuk dan ini akan menyebabkan ‘hernia’ atau Angin pasang.
Sekiranya selepas umur setahun dan hydrocele kekal, maka boleh consider buat suatu operation yang dipanggil Herniotomy. Boleh bincang lebih lanjut dengan seorang pakar bedah pediatrik. Puan boleh jumpa doktor dan minta rujukan
