Is it painful to have hydroceles surgically corrected?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Any surgery is going ot have some degree of pain no matter what. The level of discomfort depends on several factors including the size of the hydroceles (big ones tend to hurt more), the technique used by the surgeon and the pain tolerance of the individual.

Under anesthesia, No: There will be some mild post-operative pain, but none during the operation if performed under anesthesia.
