Hydrocele – Causes, Symptoms & Modern Surgical Treatment in Thane
By Dr. Ankur Bhanushali (General & Laparoscopic Surgeon)**
Hydrocele is a common condition in men where fluid collects around the testicle, causing swelling and discomfort in the scrotum. While it is usually not dangerous, it can become painful, large, or cosmetically uncomfortable — and may require surgery for permanent relief.
Dr. Ankur Bhanushali offers safe, effective and minimally invasive hydrocele surgery with quick recovery and excellent cosmetic results at both his centres in Thane:
✔ Aayush Multispeciality Hospital – Panch Pakhdi
✔ Dr. Ankur Surgical Clinic – Charai
With advanced facilities, gentle patient care, and expert surgical skills, Dr. Ankur ensures a smooth and comfortable treatment experience.
⭐ What Is a Hydrocele?
A hydrocele is a painless or mildly painful swelling of the scrotum due to the buildup of clear fluid in the membrane surrounding the testicle.
Hydroceles commonly affect:
🔹 Infants (congenital hydrocele)
🔹 Adult men (reactive/infective hydrocele)
Although harmless in many cases, persistent or large hydroceles often need medical evaluation.
⭐ Common Causes of Hydrocele
- Inflammation or infection
- Injury or trauma
- Blockage in spermatic cord
- Congenital defect (in newborns)
- Post-surgery swelling
- Fluid imbalance in testicular membrane
⭐ Symptoms to Watch Out For
Patients often complain of:
- Scrotal swelling (one or both sides)
- Feeling of heaviness
- Discomfort while walking
- Pain during activities
- Visible enlargement of the testicle
- Difficulty wearing tight clothes
If the swelling increases or becomes painful, medical consultation is required.
⭐ Diagnosis at Dr. Ankur Surgical Clinic
To confirm hydrocele and rule out other conditions:
✔ Physical examination
✔ Ultrasound of the scrotum
✔ Urine test
✔ Blood test (if infection suspected)
These help differentiate hydrocele from hernia, varicocele, testicular mass, or torsion.
⭐ Hydrocele Treatment Options
Hydrocele does not improve permanently with medicines.
The only definitive cure is Hydrocele Surgery (Hydrocelectomy).
1. Open Hydrocelectomy
The most commonly used, safe, and effective procedure.
✔ Removes the fluid
✔ Repairs the sac
✔ Prevents recurrence
2. Jaboulay Procedure
For large or chronic hydroceles.
3. Minimal Incision Cosmetic Surgery
✔ Small cut
✔ Faster recovery
✔ Very low pain
