Can ice packs cure hydrocele?

hydrocele: No, only used to relieve pain if a reason for the hydrocele is an inflammation of the testicle or epididymis.

No way: Hydrocele is a collection of fluid within a membrane (tunica vaginalis) which is similar to a cyst. Ice pack will do nothing more than cool the hydrocele. Ice pack often worth using post-operatively after hydrocele has been removed surgically.
