Question 1

I 70 yr. male had angioplasty in 2004&08, am diabetic, have hernia, hydrocele & suffering from erectile dysfunction since 2004. how to correct these.

Accepted Answer

The hernia should be addressed by a surgeon, but only after the cause is determined, e.g. Prostate enlargement, straining to void, etc.  He can fix your hydrocoele at the same time.  Likely your age and diabetes has contributed to the ed, you need a physical to make sure there are no other reasons, like blocked arteries to the penis, but there are medications, oral and injectable for this.

Question 2

Is it possible to have a hydrocele operation on both sides at the same time?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if a man has bilateral hydroceles that warrant surgical intervention, it is possible to do both sides under the same anesthetic.

Question 3

Can i drink alcohol after hydrocele operation?

Accepted Answer

How much alcohol are we talking about?  If "social" drinking - one or two literally - then it should not make a difference.  However, alcohol impairs both healing and blood clotting, and if you are also taking Ibuprofen increases the chance of stomach or upper intestinal inflammation as well.  I recommend little or no alcohol until healing is complete.

Question 4

Can somebody get a hydrocele operation and penile implant at the same time?

Accepted Answer

Anatomically it is not a problem, although some implant surgeons are reluctant to add anything to their procedure that might potentially increase the risk of infection of the implant.

Question 5

Could a hydrocele operation make my penis grow a little bit?

Accepted Answer

Not unless the hydrocele was so large that it was "burying" your penis. If it is now gone your penis may appear larger but in reality it is not.

Question 6

What are the risks of hydrocele operation for a three year-old boy?

Accepted Answer

Operation is safest with anesthesia perfromed by a pediatric anesthesiologist (risk 1:250, 000) plus a surgeon experienced in pediatric urologic surgery.

Question 7

Can you bathe after a hydrocele operation?

Accepted Answer

Best to wait a few days & then shower rather than bathe. However, if u really feel need to shower then wrap a large plastic garbage bag around your waist like a skirt. This will get your genitalia from getting wet. In any case always best to consult your surgeon about what u should or should not do post-operatively.

Question 8

How many day after a hydrocele operation can you have sex?

Accepted Answer

This is something your surgeon should have told you and please call his/her office to determine postoperative activities that are permissible.  Most surgeons would say at least 2 - 4 weeks depending upon the size of the hydroceles, how long they have been present etc...

Question 9

Boiled beans in a sock to absorb moisture on hydrocele operation area? is this a good idea?

Accepted Answer

Use a cool pack for the swelling. Heat should generally be avoided in surgical areas.

Question 10

I did hydrocele operation , one side , it is now day 11 , and swelling reduced well , can i go back to gym play bodybuilding and lifting heavy weight?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It sure sounds like it. I am sure your surgeon gave you some instructions regarding this.  So, if they have anything different than this i would first have you follow their advice.  But, as long as your pain free and able to be active without pain then go for it.
