Male hydrocele ruptured can be fatal?

No: Hydroceles virtually never rupture. Would need to be very large & sustain significant trauma. Even so would never be fatal unless aorta ruptured at same time.

No,...: Spontaneous rupture of hydrocele is unlikely, even in forceful, violent impact. But, even in worst scenario of tearing it open the scrotal wall leading to hydrocele fluid drainage, it's no big deal and just need a timely cleansing and surgery, and will not be fatal in case of no other fatal injury to vital organs. So, okay...
