Hydrocele :
A hydrocele is a fluid-filled sac that can cause swelling in the scrotum. There will be two types of hydrocele: communicating hydrocele and non-communicating hydrocele. A hydrocele will be caused by the inflammatory infection of the scrotum. The major symptoms of a hydrocele will be swelling on one or both sides of the scrotum, discomfort, heaviness, and pain. The diagnosis of a hydrocele will be based on the physical examination, and other tests will include a pelvic ultrasound scan and a CT scan. There will be no special treatment required for a hydrocele, as they will subside on their own in most cases. Surgical treatment, known as hydrolectomy, is done when the hydrocele does not subside on its own, which involves the removal of the hydrocele. If a hydrocele is not treated, it can cause an inguinal hernia, which is painful and dangerous. The complications which are seen with hydrocele surgery will be swelling, infection, scarring, recurrence of hydrocele, bruising, and anaesthesia risks.
