I'm not new to daily strength but I am new to this parenting site. My son is now 2 1/2 months old and has been diagnosed with having a hydrocele. The doctor has assured me that it's not a big deal but, I was wondering if anyone has dealt with this and if so was there any problems? I'm just a worrying first time mommy. Any advice would be wonderful. Thank you.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Nonetheless, I was definitely concerned, so I know where you're coming from (and I wasn't even a first time mom :). I'd have his ped check it each time we'd go in for immunizations and there was never any change. Miraculously, when it came time for his 12mo. c/u it had disappeared. His doctor did not seem surprised and said that it usually always takes care of itself. It's supposedly not painful and very rarely needs intervention.
I'm sure everything will be fine, but I understand your concern. Just keep an eye on things and make sure it's not tender during diaper changes and that there is no discoloration or noticeable swelling. Best of luck :)
Congratulations on your recent delivery. I hope you are enjoying the smiling and cooing that you are witnessing these days. Hydroceles are common enough and although they should be watched at your routine well child care visits by your pediatrician, most all resolve during that first year of life.
And for those who do not know what a hydrocele is, it is a collection of fluid around one of the testicles.
