I'm 36 weeks pregnant and my liver enzymes were high around week 32, so I started taking Udilv 300 tablets. Now the levels have returned to normal. Should I keep taking Udilv 300 until I deliver?

Hydrocele in Children

Hydrocele Overview

1. Fluid accumulation: Hydrocele is a condition where fluid accumulates in the scrotum, causing swelling.
2. Common in infants and toddlers: Hydrocele is relatively common in young children, especially during the first two years.

Surgical Intervention

1. Recommended for persistent hydrocele: If the hydrocele persists beyond 2-3 years, surgical intervention may be recommended.
2. Surgery benefits: Surgery can help prevent potential complications, such as hernias or testicular damage.

Wait-and-Watch Approach

1. Suitable for younger children: For children under 2-3 years, a wait-and-watch approach may be recommended, as the hydrocele may resolve on its own.
2. Monitoring required: Regular follow-ups with your pediatrician or pediatric surgeon are essential to monitor the hydrocele's progress.

Considerations for Your Son

1. Age and persistence: Since your son is 3.5 years old and the hydrocele has persisted, surgical intervention may be a reasonable option.
2. Consult with a pediatric surgeon: Schedule a consultation with a pediatric surgeon to discuss the best course of action for your son.

Remember

1. Every child is different: What works for one child may not work for another.
2. Follow your pediatrician's advice: Your pediatrician or pediatric surgeon can provide personalized guidance based on your son's specific situation.
