Symptoms of hernia: Excessive fluid accumulation in the sphincter cavity becomes syringomyelia. It is a common condition and can be seen at all ages. The effect of hydrocele (syringomyelia) on fertility There is a small amount of plasma present in the normal testicular sphincter, similar in nature to the intra-abdominal plasma, which has a slippery effect and enables the testis to slide freely in it. Under normal conditions the wall of the sheath sac has the function of secreting and absorbing plasma and keeping its volume stable. If the sphincter itself and the surrounding organs or tissues become diseased and the secretion and absorption functions of the sphincter become imbalanced, various types of syringomyelia are formed. The prognosis for this condition is generally good after treatment. The clinical importance lies in the long-term accumulation of fluid in the sphincter, which increases the internal pressure, while causing testicular ischemia and poor testicular spermatogenesis, leading to infertility. Also in adults, giant syringomyelia affects normal sexual life and can lead to infertility.
