WHAT DOES HYDROCELE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

hydrocele

Hydrocele

A hydrocele denotes a pathological accumulation of serous fluid in a body cavity. Communicating hydrocele, caused by the failure of the processus vaginalis closure. A hydrocele testis is the accumulation of fluids around a testicle, and is fairly common. It is caused by fluid secreted from a remnant piece of peritoneum wrapped around the testicle, called the tunica vaginalis. It can be the result of cancer, trauma, or orchitis, and can also occur in infants undergoing peritoneal dialysis. A hydrocele is not a cancer. It may be treated surgically. Hydroceles are usually painless as are testicular tumors. A common method of diagnosing a hydrocele is by attempting to shine a strong light through the enlarged scrotum. A hydrocele will usually pass light, while a tumor will not. A related region in females that can have a hydrocele is the canal of Nuck. A hydrocele can also be the result of a plugged inguinal lymphatic system caused by repeated, chronic infection of Wuchereria bancrofti or Brugia malayi, two mosquito-borne parasites of Africa and Southeast Asia, respectively.
