during a client's genitourinary exam, the nurse notes that the client's scrotum is enlarged and easily transilluminates. what should the nurse suspect?

Respuesta :

The nurse suspected the client had hydrocele when she observed that his scrotum was enlarged and easily transilluminated.

A male's scrotum swells as fluid fills it, resulting in a hydrocele. Although it is not a serious health concern, it may be painful and unsightly. Male newborns are more likely to have hydroceles than adult males, however, the condition may be treated.

In most cases, a hydrocele can be treated non-operatively. Within six to twelve months of age, a hydrocele normally resolves on its own. For the sake of avoiding more issues, the hydrocele must be surgically corrected if it does not go away on its own.
