Hi,
Ideally you should repeat Ultrasound after two month and see the changes either it is improving or not. Hopefully it will settle down if it is mild hydrocele. For God bidden, if he undergoes surgery on the worst scenario it will not cause any issue to reproductive organ.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Zeeshan Sajjad
