How Can A Hydrocele Be Treated?

Last April, I had surgery to remove a hydrocele from my right testicle. Since then, I have had to return to the doctor, twice, to have more fluid and blood drained from it than the the first time. Each time, I was given an anti-inflammatory prescription in an effort to cure the cause of the fluid build up with no luck. What else could I be suffering from other than a hydrocele; and how can I get it successfully treated?

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi,

It would be good to do surgery for this type of disorder. Read and understood your history, your conceptions and some misconceptions. Let me first remove your misconceptions: The surgery of hydrocele does not cause any infertility or loss of sexual vitality.

There are no such complications. Secondly, since you are 24, young and already done needle surgery once, it is better to go for the tests first: Get an ultrasonography and color Doppler so that the exact diagnosis and treatment can be planned. If advised by your surgeon go for surgery as this will not allow the recurrence.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein,
General Surgeon
