Syringomyelia surgery can be performed at the latest a few years old

  Once a syringomyelia is diagnosed, surgery should be performed as soon as possible, with the exact timing varying from person to person. Usually primary syringomyelia surgery should not be performed later than 5 years of age at the latest, while secondary syringomyelia should be operated as soon as possible within six months.  Syringomyelia is mainly caused by the accumulation of fluid in the sphincter cavity for various reasons, resulting in localized cysts, often manifesting as enlargement of the scrotum, which can have an impact on daily life and require early treatment. Syringomyelia can be divided into primary and secondary, primary may be related to chronic inflammation and trauma, secondary is common in various diseases, such as acute orchitis, acute epididymitis, etc. Once diagnosed, all should be operated as soon as possible. If it takes too long, it may cause problems such as difficulty in urination and testicular dysplasia, which may also have an impact on sexual life.  The prognosis of syringomyelia surgery is generally good. Postoperative activities and reasonable meals under the guidance of doctors are needed to promote smooth recovery of the operated area.
