A. Based on the report details you’ve shared: Your 4-year-old son has 7.5 cc of fluid collected in the tunica vaginalis, likely indicating a hydrocele, and there’s also mention of a right-sided hydrocele of the cord. A hydrocele is a fluid buildup around the testicle or along the spermatic cord. It’s common in young boys and often painless, which aligns with your observation that he has no discomfort. What this means: If he has no pain, redness, or swelling increasing rapidly, it’s usually not urgent. Most hydroceles resolve on their own, especially in infants, but at 4 years old, if it hasn’t gone away, a pediatric surgeon might recommend surgical correction to prevent future complications. What to do: Follow up with a pediatric surgeon or urologist for an evaluation. Surgery, if advised, is typically minor and done as a day-care procedure. Avoid pressing or massaging the area. Let me know if you’d like help understanding the full report or writing a note for the doctor.
