A member asked:
I have a hydrocele and unable to feel my testicle because of the fluid. do i need surgery to drain it?

By UPTODATE: "Most hydroceles do not require intervention. Treatment is only indicated in patients who are symptomatic with pain or a pressure sensation or when the scrotal skin integrity is compromised from chronic irritation. For asymptomatic patients with hydroceles, there is no need for routine follow-up". Not able to feel your testicle is not an indication for treatment. Good luck.

If it bothers you it is best to get it operated the hydrocele). Drainage can cause recurrence and/ or infection and is seldom performed. Good luck
