What Are The Chances Of Small Hydrocele To Go Away?

I am nineteen years old and I have a small pea sized Hydrocele. It's so small it's hard to notice. I checked for an ultrasound and for a check up, they say it's nothing to worry about but I am still concerned. I did research on it and chances are that it can go away on its own but what are the chances of it going away. I noticed this small Hydrocele almost a month ago and check it out three days ago. Please, answer this question.

HI. You are young so concerned. Small hydrocoele - which is not growing has nothing to worry about. Do a check ultrasound after 6 months to see if it has vanished or increased. f the testicle is normal on ultrasound , there is nothing to worry about it at the moment.
