Hi,
A hydrocele is a sac filled with fluid that forms around a testicle. They generally don’t have any threat to the testicles. To diagnose a hydrocele, physical examination needs to be performed. If you have a hydrocele, your scrotum will be swollen, but most often it does not have any pain. It is not possible to feel your testicle through the fluid-filled sac. If it is tender, it needs to be treated by intake of analgesic medications.
Most often, hydroceles typically go away within six months with conservative management by giving adequate scrotal support. Surgery is indicated if the swelling does not show signs of regression and would be causing more discomfort. Kindly consult Surgeon in this regard for clinical evaluation and appropriate management.
Hope the information provided would be helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further. All the best.
Regards,
Dr. Ashakiran S
