Do nothing...: Known to us, small amount inside the sac around testis is normal so the ultrasound report of minimal hydrocele may be not meaningful and irrelevant to testicular pain in daily medical practice. To deduce the cause for testicular pain, one has to rule out infection, inflammation of epididymis, nerve-/muscle-related causes, intermittent torsion, etc. So, good history is essential; ask urologist...

?see uologist: I don't have your reports unfortunately. If you are asymptomatic and the tests confirm a minimal hydrocele, there is no need for any treatment. If there are symptoms, a hydrocele can be aspirated(fluid drawn off with a needle) but the fluid often returns. If you physician has any concern, you should be referred to a urologist.
