Hydrocele
Understanding Hydrocele
A hydrocele is a fluid-filled sac surrounding a testicle that causes swelling in the scrotum. While it is common in newborns, it can also affect older boys and adult men. Hydroceles are usually painless but can cause discomfort due to the swelling. Treatment may be required if the hydrocele does not resolve on its own or if it causes significant discomfort.
Common Causes of Hydrocele
- Congenital Hydrocele: Present at birth due to an incomplete closure of the processus vaginalis.
- Injury or Inflammation: Trauma or infection of the testicles or epididymis.
- Fluid Imbalance: Imbalance between fluid production and absorption in the scrotum.
Symptoms and signs of Hydrocele
- Swelling in the scrotum, usually on one side
- A feeling of heaviness in the scrotum
- Discomfort or pain in the scrotum (in some cases)
- Transillumination (scrotum appears lighted when a light is shined through it)
