KNOW ABOUT HYDROCELE:
A hydrocele (HI-droe-seel) is a type of swelling in the scrotum that occurs when fluid collects in the thin sheath surrounding a testicle. Hydrocele is common in newborns and usually disappears without treatment by age 1. Older boys and adult men can develop a hydrocele due to inflammation or injury within the scrotum.
SYMPTOMS :
- Usually, hydroceles do not cause any pain, and the only symptom is a swollen scrotum.However, in adults, hydroceles can be uncomfortable. The greater the amount of fluid in the hydrocele, the heavier the scrotum feels. Some people find the swelling more uncomfortable in the morning than in the evening.If sudden scrotal pain or swelling occurs, especially after an injury to the scrotum, it is important to get medical help straight away.
DO :
- Stay hydrated
- Wear supportive underwear to reduce swelling and discomfort.
- Apply ice packs to the scrotum for 15-20 minutes at a time
DON'T :
- Avoid bike ride as much as possible
WHAT CAUSES PILES?
- Injury in the scrotum or along the channel that connects the testicles to the abdomen.
- Inflammation in the scrotum or along the channel that connects the testicles to the abdomen. This can cause fluid to leak into the scrotum.
- Dysfunction of the cells that produce and reabsorb fluid in the sac that surrounds the testicles. This can cause fluid to build up in the scrotum. The reason for this dysfunction is not clear.
