Hydrocele is a condition that occurs when there is an accumulation of fluid within the scrotum, the sac that holds the testicles. It results in swelling, pain and discomfort in the affected area.
Hydroceles are common in newborns and usually disappear on their own within a few months. However, in some cases, they may persist and require medical treatment. Hydroceles may also occur in adult males, typically due to injury or inflammation in the scrotal area, or as a result of other underlying medical conditions such as hernias, testicular tumors, or infections.
Treatment options for hydroceles may vary depending on the severity of the condition. In some cases, the fluid may be drained using a needle, a procedure called aspiration. In other cases, surgery may be required to remove the hydrocele.
It is important to seek medical attention if you experience swelling or pain in the scrotal area, as these symptoms may indicate an underlying medical condition that requires treatment.
