The tunica vaginalis is a widely present tissue in the human body, and some people who frequently use pens are prone to developing the disease of tunica vaginalis, but this tunica vaginalis is in the hands. Few people know that there is actually a layer of tunica vaginalis wrapped around the outside of the male testicles, which can support and protect the testicles and is a very important peripheral tissue. But the tunica vaginalis, like the hands, can undergo certain pathological changes. Testicular hydrocele is a condition where, as the name suggests, the tunica vaginalis can become inflamed and accumulate fluid, causing more serious symptoms. So will this kind of testicular hydrocele affect fertility? How should testicular hydrocele be treated?

1、 Etiology of testicular hydrocele

In clinical practice, hydrocele may be caused by disease factors or bacterial infections. If hydrocele of the tunica vaginalis is not treated promptly and effectively, it is likely to pose a threat to the patient's physical and mental health. Hydrocele of the tunica vaginalis may be caused by increased secretion and decreased absorption of the tunica vaginalis, or by congenital factors such as defects in the lymphatic system of the tunica vaginalis. The invasion of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and various non-specific bacteria can cause acute and chronic epididymitis, orchitis, seminal vesiculitis, and epididymitis. If cancer in the testicles, epididymis, tunica vaginalis, spermatic cord, and other areas can invade the tunica vaginalis, it can lead to increased secretion and exudation, or blockage and fluid accumulation of the lymphatic system.

2、 Can hydrocele of the testicular sheath affect fertility?

Testicular hydrocele may affect fertility. When there is a large amount of fluid accumulation in the tunica vaginalis and left untreated for a long time, it may compress the testicles, causing an increase in scrotal temperature and damaging the testicular spermatogenic function. When there are problems with semen quality, it can affect fertility. When there is hydrocele in the tunica vaginalis, it is necessary to go to the hospital for relevant examinations and surgeries in a timely manner. If oral medication is ineffective, surgery can also be considered to completely remove hydrocele. If the hydrocele of the tunica vaginalis persists for a long time, it can lead to a decrease in testicular spermatogenic ability, decreased sperm motility, and an increase in deformity rate. Of course, it can seriously affect fertility.

3、 Can hydrocele of the testicular sheath affect fertility?

The purpose of the surgery is to perform a high ligation of the hernia neck at the inner ring to block the downward flow of ascites. Within the age of 2, hydrocele of the tunica vaginalis can be absorbed on its own, except for severe infections or other pathological changes. Primary hydrocele of the tunica vaginalis has a short course, minimal hydrocele, low intrathecal tension, no obvious symptoms, no testicular atrophy, and male infertility is not treated. For traumatic hydrocele or acute inflammatory hydrocele, the main treatment for the primary disease can be local hot compress and physical therapy to promote absorption. Those that cannot be absorbed can be treated later. After pumping, irritant drugs are injected into the sheath cavity, causing inflammatory adhesions. Destroy the vaginal sac. But it is difficult to treat, and surgical treatment can also be used. In fact, if it is not particularly serious, traditional Chinese medicine can be used to regulate and alleviate symptoms. The traditional Chinese medicines that can be used at this time include Huangqi and Licorice., Guizhi and Poria cocos, supplemented by Forsythia suspensa. If these drugs are used together, they may be effective.

Testicular hydrocele is a relatively obvious reproductive system disease, which can cause painful feelings for many people and generally does not delay treatment. Fluid accumulation can cause a significant increase in testicular temperature, which can affect fertility for many friends. However, as long as the accumulated fluid is removed after treatment, the symptoms will disappear and there will be no later impact!
