All About
Hydrocele Surgery
Symptoms
Usually, the only indication of a hydrocele is a painless swelling of one or both testicles.
Adult men with a hydrocele might experience discomfort from the heaviness of a swollen scrotum.
Pain generally increases with the size of the inflammation
Causes
Infection, inflammation, injury or tumours of your testicle may cause fluid to be formed which leads to a hydrocele forming
More about Treatment
An incision is made in the scrotum or lower abdomen to remove the hydrocele. If a hydrocele is found during surgery to repair an inguinal hernia, the surgeon might remove the hydrocele even if it's causing no discomfort. After hydrocelectomy, you might need a tube to drain fluid and a bulky dressing for a few days.
DIAGNOSIS:
To diagnose a hydrocele, the doctor will perform a physical exam. The doctor won't be able to feel your testicle well through the fluid-filled sac.
The doctor may check for tenderness in the scrotum and shine a light through the scrotum. This is called transillumination.
