Symptoms of a Hydrocele:
- Painless swelling in the scrotum (one or both sides)
- Feeling of heaviness or dragging in the scrotum
- Enlarged scrotum that may affect appearance (in some cases)
- Discoloration of the scrotum (rare)
Causes of a Hydrocele:
- In newborns, a hydrocele is often present at birth and usually resolves on its own within the first year.
- In adults, hydroceles can develop due to:
- Injury or inflammation of the scrotum
- Infection
- Inflammation or blockage in the tubes connecting the testicles to the abdomen
When to See a Doctor
Risk Factors:
- Previous scrotal injury or infection
- Certain medical conditions causing inflammation (filariasis)
Complications:
While uncommon, potential complications of a hydrocele or its treatment can include infection, bleeding, and damage to the testicle.
Prevention:
There’s no guaranteed way to prevent hydroceles, but avoiding scrotal injuries and practicing safe sex to minimize infections may help reduce the risk.

FAQ's
Treatment options depend on the size and cause of the hydrocele. We offer procedures like hydrocelectomy (surgical removal of the fluid sac) or aspiration (needle drainage of the fluid).
Recovery time depends on the type of surgery performed. Typically, minimally invasive procedures allow for a quicker return to normal activities.
Hydrocelectomy is a very effective treatment with a low recurrence rate. However, new hydroceles can develop in some cases.
