Babies: 0 - 3 Months

Any baby boys get hydrocele?

we were told today our baby has hydrocele (1 ball bigger than the other). Doc said it usually goes away on its own by age 1 and we'll just watch it. I wasn't too concerned upon hearing it. But ds HATES to get his diaper changed, he screams a bloodcurling cry. I had just attributed it to being a baby but now I'm wondering if the two are related. I'll call doc tomorrow but I'm wondering if anyone else out there has a son with this if they showed pain during diaper changes?

  • My son has a hydrocele and a double hernia and is not in pain nor should he be. We've seen a pediatric surgeon who said the hydrocele will clear by 1-2 years and should cause no discomfort.

    by the way your daughter is strikingly gorgeous. Looks so much like maggie gyllenhall (however that's spelled).
