Not usually: Hydrocele in adult male is a collection of fluid around testis & need for treatment is patient dependent.Usually depends upon size: larger it is more discomfort results or cosmetic embarassment. Need to know that testis, within hydrocele is normal as u can have a testis tumor within hydrocele. Scrotal ultrasound can evaluate testis if not palpable within a tense hydrocele.H, s seldom serios in boys.

Rarely: Non-communicating hydroceles (ones that do not change in size throughout the day) do not cause serious problems by themselves. However, it is important to have them evaluated, even if asymptomatic, to ensure that the cause of the hydrocele is nothing serious.
