My son just can’t win. Anyone’s little get a hernia in their balls ? My son was crying when I washed him down there . Took him out and it’s so swollen. Like so swollen. Only one though. I think it might be a hernia . Waiting for the pediatrician to call me back now 😭😭

My son has this but it was due to somethin called a hydrocele. Basically when their little balls drop, the trap door behind em is supposed to close. With Hydrocele, it either didn't close, or closed slower than normal, letting it trap fluid. In MOST cases it's something they outgrow by the age of 2.5-3. If not it is a simple surgery and does not effect them in any way in the long run. It looked bad, just cause one side was SO much bigger but he never acted to be in any pain. He was uncomfortable with me grabbin and lookin at it but never said it hurt. Me, not havin balls, FREAKED TF OUT when I first noticed the swelling. My son outgrew his, THANKFULLY! I could obviously be wrong, but it's an option.

@briannalynn547, His came and went FOREVER. It'd be swollen for a couple weeks then back to normal, off and off for bout a year and a half or so. I would just give him Epsom salt baths (this seemed to provide a lot of comfort) and a little motrin and he never acted like it bothered him. They offered the surgery but at the time, he wasn't even 2, I REALLY didn't wanna put him under. I'm glad we waited it out cause it would've been an unnecessary surgery for my lil man, as he outgrew it.

@leonardsquared, thank you for that information! He’ll be two in two weeks and I’m not fond of him going under either . But I’m going to give the baths a try .

My thought was that it was nothing life threating, he wasn't in pain so there would be no harm in waitin. We did agree if he ever acted as if it bothered him or he was in pain that we'd schedule the surgery. That never happened though! It's PRETTY normal that they outgrow it. Keep an eye on it and be aware of it Mama, all will be well.
