A member asked:
How can i distinguish between testicular cancer and hydrocele?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Scrotal ultrasound: Will provide the answer. Unless hydrocele is soft enough for you to palpate an otherwise normal testicle. Your primary care Dr. can order it for you, or visit a urologist who performs office ultrasound examinations
