A member asked:

Scrotal ultrasound measured testicular length at 5 cm, bilateral hydrocele is 1.7 cc. what is the actual testicular length?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Steven Chmielewski answered

Specializes in Diagnostic Radiology

5 cm.: A hydrocele is not 'counted' in the length of the testis. It is a fluid collection around the testis. The testis is solid and usually measured in 3 dimensions.

Dr Klauber and another doctor agreed
