Why is treatment sometimes done earlier than the payment?
When a case is urgent and vital, hospitals often proceed with delivering medical care right away to save a life, even before the finalisation of admission procedures. Usually, when this happens, hospitals put the bill on our credit until the funds are transferred to their accounts. That’s why the chronology can sometimes be in disorder.

About urology
A hydrocele is a type of swelling in the scrotum, the pouch of skin that holds the testicles. This swelling happens when fluid collects in the thin sac that surrounds a testicle.

Background
Alade Tolulope Hail is a 5-year-old in Nursery One, and he's a well-behaved little boy. He enjoys talking with friends, watching movies, playing sports, and meeting new people. Five years ago, he had some swelling in his left scrotum (a part of his body). Over time, the swelling got bigger. He's been trying traditional herbal treatments, but they haven't made it better. Right now, Alade is in a lot of pain, and he's taking pain medicine.
Medical history
Tolulope was diagnosed with hydrocele, and he was advised to undergo a surgery. The surgery was carried out as scheduled. The patient responded well to the surgery and the-post operative management. Tolulope was discharged at the stable state of health.
Prognosis
The persistent presence of a hydrocele can cause ongoing discomfort, heaviness, or a feeling of fullness in the scrotum. Although hydroceles are not typically associated with infections, untreated ones may become prone to infections, which can result in pain and complications. Larger hydroceles can interfere with activities like walking or participating in sports due to the added weight and size of the swollen scrotum. Surgical removal of the hydrocele sac is the most effective and permanent treatment for hydrocele. It is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under local or general anesthesia. The surgeon makes a small incision in the scrotum, drains the fluid, and removes the sac.
