What is the fluid in your sack?
What is a hydrocele? A hydrocele is a collection of fluid in a sac in your scrotum next to a testicle (testis). It usually occurs on one side but sometimes a hydrocele forms over both testicles (testes). The normal testis is surrounded by a smooth protective tissue sac.
What causes fluid build up in the testicle?
A hydrocele can develop as a result of injury or inflammation within the scrotum. Inflammation might be caused by an infection in the testicle or in the small, coiled tube at the back of each testicle (epididymitis).
What happens if you leave bursitis untreated?
Chronic pain: Untreated bursitis can lead to a permanent thickening or enlargement of the bursa, which can cause chronic inflammation and pain. Muscle atrophy: Long term reduced use of joint can lead to decreased physical activity and loss of surrounding muscle.
Will an elbow bursa sac heal itself?
Elbow bursitis can also be caused by long periods of leaning on your elbows, or after a trauma, like falling on your elbow. If a behavior or habitual action caused your inflammation, the best thing you can do is to avoid this action. If you can avoid irritating the bursa, often bursitis will go away on its own.
What happens if a hydrocele is not treated?
A non-communicating hydrocele usually remains the same size or has a very slow growth. If a communicating hydrocele does not go away on its own and is not treated, it can lead to an inguinal hernia. In this condition, part of the intestine or intestinal fat pushes through an opening (inguinal canal) in the groin area.
How can I fix my hydrocele without surgery?
Alternatives to surgery Inserting a needle into the hydrocele and withdrawing the fluid (aspiration) is an alternative to surgery. After removing the fluid, the doctor injects a chemical inside the sack (sclerotherapy) around the testicle. This helps prevent fluid from building up again.
What happens if a bursa sac ruptures?
If the bursitis is left untreated, the fluid filled sack has the potential to rupture. This could then lead to an infection of the surrounding skin.
At what age is hydrocele expected to resolve?
Non-communicating hydrocele: In many cases, non-communicating hydroceles will resolve over the first year of life. If your child is less than 1 year of age, the surgeon will often recommend observation of the hydrocele. If the hydrocele persists past the age of 1, surgical repair will be necessary.
