Have hydrocele. urologist said to leave alone bc not painful. gets bigger and smaller. had ultrasound. its fine. what can i do besides surgery?

Hydrocele: may expand and contract on its own. Wearing supportive underwear may help. You can have the hydrocele drained but this is usually only a temporary solution. Surgery is the only permanent solution but it doesn't sound like you need that at this point.
