Hydrocele Surgery

A hydrocele is a fluid-filled swelling around the testicle, commonly seen in men and sometimes in infants. While it is usually painless, it can cause discomfort, heaviness, or swelling in the scrotum. When the hydrocele becomes large or persistent, surgical correction (Hydrocelectomy) is the most effective and permanent treatment.

Causes of Hydrocele:

• Injury or inflammation of the testicle or epididymis
• Infection in the scrotal area
• Congenital hydrocele (present from birth due to incomplete closure of the inguinal canal)
• Post-surgical or post-traumatic fluid collection

Symptoms:

• Painless swelling in the scrotum
• Feeling of heaviness or dragging in the groin
• Discomfort while walking or sitting
• Occasionally, infection or tenderness if the hydrocele becomes complicated

Treatment – Hydrocelectomy:

Hydrocele surgery (Hydrocelectomy) is a minor and safe procedure performed under local, spinal, or general anesthesia.

• A small incision is made in the scrotum or groin.
• The fluid is drained, and the sac lining is removed or inverted to prevent recurrence.
• The wound is then closed with absorbable sutures.
• Patients can usually go home the same day or the next morning.

Benefits of Hydrocele Surgery:

• Permanent relief from swelling and heaviness
• Improved appearance and comfort
• Minimal recurrence risk
• Quick recovery and return to normal activities

Post-Surgery Care:

• Wear supportive underwear for a few days
• Keep the surgical area clean and dry
• Avoid strenuous activities or lifting heavy weights for 2–3 weeks
• Follow your surgeon’s instructions for dressing and medications
