Hi doctors. how do i know if i have a hernia or hydrocele?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Diagnosing a Hernia: Usually a physical exam by a physician is all you need to diagnose a hernia. If there is any question then an ultrasound or CT Scan can be done to differentiate between a hernia or hydrocele.
