Accepted Answer

Here are some ...: Are you sure she has hydrocele which solely occur inside men's scrotum? There has been no known oral remedy for its relief but surgery - hydrocelectomy if needed. Yet, it's known nothing like using any medicine is free but always comes with a price, i.e., possible, unpredictable, certain side effects in few if its user. Yet, hydrocele with no significant mental/physical handup may need NO surgery.

Question 2

what are the risks&probabilities of the surgical incision?

Accepted Answer

Sac of water: A hydocele means a little sac or pocket of water. It usually occurs as a result of inflammation from any number of things including infection, injury, illness, or defect. In men, this term is usually heard when a soft (sometimes uncomfortable) lump is felt in the scrotum. This requires medical evaluation to make sure it's nothing more serious.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Here are some ...: Normally, various small amount of fluid inside the space between scrotal wall and testis is alway present, and "hydrocele" is just incidentally "picked" up by US.

More concern? Seel pro-evaluation ...

Question 6

what are the tests for hydrocele?

Accepted Answer

Scrotal ultrasound: Is essentially the only reliable test for hydrocele. Transillumination can be used, but is not 100% reliable because subject with a hydrocele may also have a testicular tumor which is not necessarily seen on transillumination.

Question 7

could my hydrocele get bigger if?

Accepted Answer

Yes it can: Simply as time goes by. Also in rare ; unlikely case of there being an underlying testicular tumor. This can be confirmed or excluded by scrotal ultrasound.

Question 8

are the symptoms of hydrocele bad?

Accepted Answer

No: The hydrocoels i see on a regular basis are in infants that seem unbothered by the process. Occasionaly parents bring in a baby boy whose been fussy & realize the scrotum seems enlarged. They assume the enlargement caused the fussiness, it is the opposite. A fussy baby can drive a little fluid into a communicating hydrocoel  but on exam the structure is not tender. Most resolve without rx.

Question 9

how do you  deal with a hydrocele?

Accepted Answer

Hydrocele: Options include doing nothing if it doesn't bother you or surgery to remove it. Aspirating it, or drawing off fluid with a needle is not recommended.

Question 10

will my hydrocele take to resolve?
