A hydrocele occurs when fluid collects in the thin sheath surrounding a testicle in the scrotum. In newborns, hydrocele is common and usually disappears without treatment by the age of one. It is possible for older boys and adult men to develop a hydrocele as a result of inflammation or injury within the scrotum.
A hydrocele treatment in Hebbal, Bangalore is usually not painful or harmful and does not require treatment. In the event that you have scrotal swelling, you should consult your physician to rule out other causes.
There is a possibility that a hydrocele may go away on its own. Males of any age should have their hydrocele evaluated by a physician, since it may be linked with an underlying testicular condition.
Surgical removal of a hydrocele that does not resolve on its own is usually performed as an outpatient procedure. Surgery to remove a hydrocele can be performed under general or local anesthesia. For the removal of a hydrocele, an incision is made in the lower abdomen or scrotum.
