between fluid production and absorption in
the scrotum gets off track. In babies, it's

doesn't, letting fluid buildup. In adults, it can
be from inflammation, injury, or blockages
in the plumbing down there. Sometimes
diseases or injuries in the pelvic area can
cause it too. There are different types
