What is Hydrocele?
A hydrocele is a type of swelling in the scrotum that occurs when fluid collects in the thin sheath surrounding a testicle. Hydrocele is common in newborns and usually disappears without treatment by age 1. Older boys and adult men can develop a hydrocele due to inflammation or injury within the scrotum.
Risk factors of Hydrocele
A hydrocele typically isn’t dangerous and usually doesn’t affect fertility. But a hydrocele might be associated with an underlying testicular condition that can cause serious complications, including:
-
Infection or tumour. Either might reduce sperm production or function.
-
Inguinal hernia. The loop of the intestine trapped in the abdominal wall can lead to life-threatening complications.
Causes
Infection in testicle
Inflammation
Injury
Symptoms

Diagnosis
The doctor will start with a physical examination which is necessary to analyze the severity of the condition. It’s likely to include
-
Checking for tenderness in an enlarged scrotum.
-
Applying pressure to the abdomen and scrotum to check for inguinal hernia.
-
Shining a light through the scrotum. If the patient has a hydrocele, transillumination will show clear fluid surrounding the testicle.
After that Physical Examination, Experts might recommend certain test
-
Blood and urine tests to help determine that patient has an infection, such as epididymitis
-
Ultrasound to help rule out hernia, testicular tumor or other causes of scrotal swelling
Surgery
Hydrocelectomy is performed by our experts to treat hydrocele in the safest and most effective manner. A tiny incision is made around the groin region or scrotum. The liquid collected in the scrotum is drained properly and the channel through which the testicles descend is also closed properly to make sure that the fluid doesn’t move from the abdomen to the scrotum again.
The surgery to remove a hydrocele can be done under general or regional anesthesia takes only about 30-45 minutes. After the surgery, the patient can go back home and focus on recovering as quickly as possible. Only a tiny incision is made around the scrotum, therefore, there is minimal bleeding and no need for stitches. The patient recovers within a few weeks as well.
