Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Can I drain a hydrocele myself? I have no medical insurance and don t have a ton of money laying around to pay huge medical bills for surgery.If there s something I can do myself to drain the fluid as a temporary relief, that s what I would prefer. Please let me know. Thank you.
Hi, Never do aspiration of hydrocele at home. This s very risky as it might damage testicle and cause bacterial infection as well leading to severe complications. With aspiration even by surgeon, there are all chances of recurring. Consult surgeon and get examined. Ok and take care.
