Hello This appears to be hydrocele - a collection of fluid around the testis, which is common in newborns. It usually resolves on its own by 1–2 years of age without any treatment. This condition is usually benign and self-limiting. Most babies with hydrocele do not need surgery unless it persists after 1–2 years or if it’s a communicating hydrocele.
Next Steps
No immediate treatment needed if it’s a simple hydrocele. Follow up with your pediatrician during regular visits. Ultrasound may be advised if: The swelling persists beyond 1 year, or Doubt exists between hydrocele and hernia
Health Tips
Ensure the swelling is: Painless, Reducible or not rapidly increasing, Not associated with redness, fever, or excessive crying Red flags: If the swelling becomes tense, red, or painful Baby has vomiting, irritability, or refusal to feed The swelling is hard or suddenly increases in size You’re unable to feel the testis separately — rule out hernia or testicular torsion
