Diagnosis of hydrocele
- Doctor will perform physical exam, he may apply pressure to the groin area or ask you to cough to see how the swelling changes. He may shine a light through your scrotum to highlight any abdominal fluid in the area. Doctor will advise pelvic ultrasound to diagnose hydrocele.
- Trauma to the testis or injury of the testis
- Infection in the testicular sac or of the testis
- Filariasis
- Inguinal Hernia
- Torsion of the testis
- Swelling that changes in size during the day
- Discomfort
- Pain
- A feeling of heaviness
- Communicating hydrocele
A communicating hydrocele has contact (communication) with the fluids in the abdominal cavity. Communicating hydroceles occur in fetal development.
Normally, the testicles descend from the abdomen through the processus vaginalis into the scrotum. If a seal doesn’t form, fluids from the abdominal cavity can flow into the scrotum and cause a hydrocele or hernia.
- Noncommunicating hydrocele
In a noncommunicating hydrocele, the processus vaginalis closes. But there’s still some extra abdominal fluid around the testicle in the scrotum. Noncommunicating hydroceles may be present at birth or develop years later.
Most hydroceles go away on their own without treatment. But if a hydrocele doesn’t resolve on its own, doctor may recommend a hydrocelectomy. If you have a communicating hydrocele, they’ll close the opening between your processus vaginalis and scrotum.
Types of surgeries in hydrocele are
Hydrocelectomy involves incision and drainage of the testicular sac. Sometimes, the surgeon may remove or tie up a part of the sac to prevent recurrence of hydrocele.
T Needle aspiration is when a needle is inserted into the sac, and the fluid is drained into the syringe to reduce the discomfort caused by the hydrocele.
- Sclerotherapy is a procedure in which a sclerosant is used to collapse the sac and prevent fluid reaccumulation.
- Take prescribed medications - Use pain relief medications and antibiotics exactly as prescribed to manage discomfort and prevent infection.
- Avoid sexual activity temporarily - Refrain from sexual activity for 4–6 weeks or until your doctor confirms complete healing.
- Reduce swelling with cold compress - Applying a cold compress to the scrotal area for short intervals can help reduce swelling and bruising during the initial days after surgery.
- Maintain a healthy diet - Eat a balanced diet rich in proteins, vitamins, and fluids to support faster tissue healing.
- Use scrotal support - Wearing a scrotal support or tight underwear as advised by your doctor helps minimize swelling and provides comfort.
- Keep the surgical area clean - Ensure the surgical site remains clean and dry to reduce the risk of infection.
- Rest and stay hydrated - Adequate rest and proper hydration play an important role in promoting a smooth and quick recovery.
