Question 4

how long is ok to wait for hydrocele surgery?

Accepted Answer

Indefinitely or as: Long as you wish to live with the discomfort of a large scrotum. Also depends how large it is, a small hydrocele may never need surgery, a very large hydrocele must be very uncomfortable.

how complicated is hydrocele surgery for a man?

Accepted Answer

Not very: While an operation is necessary usually, it is considered minor surgery.

Question 6

is it possible to fix a hydrocele without surgery?

Accepted Answer

No: Sadly not usually. You can drain a hydrocele with a needle in the office but the recurrence rate is very high. In surgery the hydrocele "sac" where the fluid sits is surgically removed so it is very rare for the fluid to return after surgery. Best of luck.
