I developed a hydrocele after 1 week of laparoscopic varicocelectomy. my dr said it'll probably go away on its own in about 2 months. is this true and does it take that long? i really don't want another surgery. and how can i ease the pain (mild)?

If it's a small hydrocele it may eventually resolve without any treatment and it appears to be good advice by your surgeon. Large or persistent hydroceles are often treated by aspiration or surgery. Follow up with your surgeon. Ask about pain treatment. You can also get a second opinion if you're not satisfied with your treatment or advice.

It is rather unusual to have it develop so fast. There is a chance it might resorb if it is a small hematoma in 8-10 months. To ease discomfort pl wear a supportive under wear and try a heating pad for 10-15 mts. 2-3 times a day.
