Suggest Complications With Epididymis In Infants
Hi, my 22 month old son had a very large non communicating hydrocele and had surgery in March of this year. The Dr. said that he had a very thick hydrocele sack and there was lots of bleeding seeping out. He just had a ultrasound and it looks like his epididymis is now inflamed and thicken. The Dr. says that we will just watch it, but my concern is if it could be due to something else or if something else is going on. Any thoughts?

Inflammation of epididymis is due to surgery and inflammation will subside without any complications how ever if the scrotal sac is thickened and no pain there is no acute inflammation if there is any swelling of scrotum then it is scrotal abscess and testis may shrink in size and chronic epididymis may occur which in ur case is may be the reason
