Hydrocele – Causes, Symptoms & Modern Painless Treatment in Thane
By Dr. Ankur Bhanushali – General, Laparoscopic & Laser Surgeon
A hydrocele is a common condition seen in men where fluid collects around the testicle, causing swelling in the scrotum. Although usually painless, it can become uncomfortable, large in size, and sometimes indicate an underlying problem.
Modern surgical techniques ensure safe, quick, and minimally painful hydrocele treatment, available at Aayush Multispeciality Hospital, Panch Pakhdi and Dr. Ankur Surgical Clinic, Charai.
🔍 What Is a Hydrocele?
A hydrocele is a fluid-filled sac around the testicle that causes swelling in the scrotum.
It can occur:
✔ From birth (congenital)
✔ In adults due to infection, injury, or inflammation
Hydroceles are generally harmless but should be treated if large or uncomfortable.
⚠️ Common Causes of Hydrocele
- Injury to scrotum
- Infection (orchitis, epididymitis)
- Post-surgical swelling
- Weakness in abdominal wall
- Fluid imbalance
- Blockage in spermatic cord
- Long-standing hernia
🩺 Symptoms of Hydrocele
- Soft swelling in scrotum
- One-sided or both-sided swelling
- Feeling of heaviness
- Discomfort while sitting or walking
- Difficulty crossing legs
- Cosmetic concerns
- In large hydroceles: pain or difficulty in movement
Hydroceles usually do not affect fertility but can be associated with infections or hernias, which require evaluation.
🧪 Diagnosis of Hydrocele
Diagnosis includes:
🔹 Physical examination
🔹 Transillumination test (light test showing fluid)
🔹 Ultrasound of scrotum – confirms diagnosis & rules out hernia, tumor, infection
🔹 Blood tests if infection is suspected
