The baby boy’s private parts are swollen like a “watery egg”, don’t rush into surgery yet!

Question 1: A 20-day-old baby has one testicle larger than the other, and the larger side is transparent when viewed through light. There is fluid. The baby does not cry or fuss, and has no other symptoms. I checked a lot on the Internet. I feel like hydrocele, but I am worried that it is spermatic cord torsion. Is there any difference between them? Dr. Cui Lixia’s answer: When considering hydrocele, it can be diagnosed by B-ultrasound. It will usually heal on its own. If it does not heal on its own after 1 year old or continues to develop seriously, surgical treatment will need to be considered. There is a difference between the two. Spermatic cord torsion (also called testicular torsion) is acute and more serious. When it occurs, not only the scrotum is swollen, but also severe pain occurs. Emergency treatment is required, otherwise it will cause testicular necrosis and require removal. The two are different and easy to distinguish. If parents are worried, they can confirm the diagnosis through B-ultrasound examination. Question 2: My baby is only fifteen days old. I recently opened the window to ventilate the baby on the way to the hospital for a jaundice test. Then when I came back, the baby had diarrhea and frothy diarrhea. What should I do? Do you want to take medicine? Dr. Wang Yanli answered: Foaming is mainly caused by indigestion due to the sugar in milk. Mothers should pay attention to what they eat and don’t eat too many sweets in the past few days. In addition, they can give their children hot compresses on their stomachs and take probiotics for five days to regulate their digestive tract function. Question 3: 36 days after caesarean section, the lochia cannot be discharged completely. It comes over and over again and the amount is not large at one time. Is it serious? Dr. Pan Guilan’s answer: It’s not serious. It is normal for the uterus to return to its original state within 42 days after delivery. You can also wait. If there is still bleeding after 42 days after delivery, check the color ultrasound to see the recovery of the uterus and the incision. Pay attention to rest and keep the abdomen warm.
