A member asked:
Adult hydrocelle (after postop hernia edema) can go away on its one? after how much time or what can tell you that it will not go and needs surgery?

It is hard to tell: It is hard to predict if it will go away. Often they do not go away. See the surgeon or a urologist is it is painful or too big and bothers you. Usually they are not harmful.

3 Months: I would think that after 3 months post surgery either it is going to be persistent.
