Understanding Haematocele: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment Options
Haematocele is a rare condition where blood accumulates in the space outside of a testicle. It can occur in adults or children and can be caused by various factors such as trauma, tumors, or congenital abnormalities.
The symptoms of haematocele may include:
* A swollen scrotum
* Pain in the scrotum or testicle
* Redness and warmth in the scrotum
* Difficulty urinating
* Fever
If you suspect that you or someone else may have a haematocele, it is important to seek medical attention immediately. A healthcare professional will perform a physical examination and may order imaging tests such as an ultrasound or CT scan to confirm the diagnosis. Treatment for haematocele usually involves surgery to drain the accumulated blood and repair any underlying causes.
