What Causes Fluid Around The Scrotum?
My daughter just had an ultrasound and the technician told her to ask her doctor to see if they are going to do another ultrasound because he said her son has fluid around his scrotum? Should we worry? She is 29 weeks 2 days pregnant with her first child?

Hello
Thanks for query.
Your daughter who is in her 29 weeks pregnancy has done routine antenatal
ultrasound scanning and reported to have a male baby with fluid around his testicle.(What is called as Fluid Hernia).
This is likely to be due to the baby having a fluid hernia ..
Do not worry this can be operated after the child becomes 2-3 years old .
At present No active treatment is needed neither there is any risk to the baby.
