We visited the Jacksonville Zoo with our four children (ages 6-13) and had a very nice time. The zoo is small enough to enjoy in a partial day which we prefer as we'd rather not leave exhausted. We also took advantage of our reciprocal membership (from our home zoo) and received discounted admission.
A hydrocele is a collection of fluid surrounding the testicle. It is located within the outer layer of the testicle called the tunica vaginalis. Hydroceles can also develop due to inflammation or injury within the scrotum. These sometimes resolve over a few months but many remain and require medical attention.
The cause of most hydroceles is unknown. Hydroceles in newborns may mean there is an opening between the abdomen and the scrotum. Normally such openings close before birth or shortly after. Hydroceles that appear later in life may be caused by an injury or surgery to the scrotum or groin area.Or they can be caused by inflammation or infection of the epididymis or testicles. In rare cases, hydroceles may occur with cancer of the testicle or the left kidney.This type of hydrocele can occur at any age but is most common in men older than 40.r they can be caused by inflammation or infection of the epididymis or testicles.
