Do kids get syringomyelia from playing too much sports?

The occurrence of syringomyelia is not related to the amount of exercise, but too much exercise may aggravate the condition. The occurrence of syringomyelia in children is mainly related to anatomical structure abnormality, local injury or inflammation. Syringomyelia is mainly manifested as a painless scrotal mass, and when the amount of fluid increases, it may also manifest a sensation of scrotal swelling and pain. The disease is more prevalent in children and is usually not associated with strenuous or excessive exercise. The common cause of syringomyelia in children is the anatomical abnormality of the syringomyelia cavity, in which fluid accumulation occurs when the return of fluid in the cavity is blocked; when the development of the syringomyelia lymphatic system of the body is imperfect, it can also lead to the occurrence of syringomyelia. Some cases of syringomyelia are also associated with scrotal infections, inflammation of the scrotum, and testicular or epididymal injuries. It is recommended that people with syringomyelia seek prompt medical attention and avoid strenuous exercise to aggravate the condition when symptoms occur.
