About This Condition
A hydrocele is a condition where fluid accumulates in the sac surrounding the testicle, causing scrotal swelling. While usually painless, a large hydrocele can cause discomfort. Hydrocelectomy is a simple, safe outpatient surgery that permanently resolves the condition.
Common Causes
- Congenital — fluid doesn't drain properly at birth
- Inflammation or injury to the testicle
- Infection (orchitis or epididymitis)
- Trauma to the scrotal area
- Secondary to testicular tumor (rare)
