A hydrocele is a condition where fluid collects around the testicle, causing swelling in the scrotum. It is usually painless but may cause heaviness or discomfort when the swelling becomes larger.
Common symptoms of hydrocele include:
If you notice new or increasing scrotal swelling, it is important to get it checked by a specialist.
A hydrocele can develop due to fluid buildup around the testicle. In adults, it may sometimes be associated with injury, infection, inflammation, or previous surgery. In some cases, the exact cause may not be clear.
A doctor usually performs a physical examination to check the scrotal swelling. A scrotal ultrasound may also be recommended to confirm the hydrocele and check the testicles for other conditions.
Treatment depends on the size of the hydrocele, symptoms, age, and overall health.
Small hydroceles without symptoms may sometimes be monitored. If the hydrocele is large, persistent, or causes discomfort, hydrocele surgery may be recommended.
Hydrocelectomy is a surgical procedure used to treat a persistent or symptomatic hydrocele. During the procedure, the fluid-filled sac around the testicle is treated to prevent the swelling from continuing.
Your specialist will explain the most suitable treatment based on your condition.
A simple hydrocele does not usually cause infertility. However, men with hydrocele and fertility concerns should have a proper evaluation to check overall testicular and reproductive health.
Some swelling, bruising, or mild discomfort may occur after hydrocele surgery. Recovery time varies from person to person. Your doctor will provide instructions about wound care, physical activity, and follow-up.
