Can one get rid of a hydrocele without operation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: The key factor in eliminating the hydrocele is obliterating the space, or potential space where fluid accumulates around the testicle. Simply aspirating a hydrocele carries a high change of recurrence, sometimes in only a few days. A formal hydrocelectomy obliterates this space with a very small chance of it ever coming back.
