A member asked:
What causes swelling after a hydrocelectomy is performed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tissue edema: Scrotum affords virtually no compression. Lymphatics may have been divided ; thus can not drain edema or fluid that continues to form from remaining lining of hydrocele sac. Worth considering compression, e.g. Lycra, shorts
