Best Doctors for Hydrocele in Kurnool

Hydrocele is a fluid filled sac in the scrotum, skin that holds testicles in the form of a pouch behind the penis. It is most commonly seen in infants. Symptoms include swelling, discomfort, pain, and feeling of heaviness. It occurs due to the flow of abdominal fluid into the scrotum during fetal development. Types of hydroceles are noncommunicating hydroceles, communicating hydroceles, and nuck's hydroceles. Most hydroceles resolve without any treatment; if it doesn't, hydrocelectomy is recommended. If left untreated, an inguinal hernia may develop. Risks include infection, bruising, scarring, nerve damage, scrotal injury, and recurrence.
