How to prevent

Here are some steps to reduce the risk of acquired Hydrocele:

1. Practice Safe Sex:

Some sexually transmitted infections (STIs) can lead to infections that might cause Hydrocele. Practicing safe sex by using condoms can reduce the risk of these infections.

2. Hygiene:

Maintaining good personal hygiene in the genital area can help prevent infections that might lead to Hydrocele. Regularly clean the area and avoid using harsh soaps or chemicals that could irritate the skin.

3. Prevent Injury:

Take precautions to avoid injuries to the scrotum. Wear protective gear during sports or activities where damage to the groin area is possible.

4. Manage Infections:

Promptly treat any infections or inflammations in the genital area, such as epididymitis or orchitis.

Treatment

The treatment of Hydrocele varies depending on the severity and discomfort it causes. In some cases, conservative management and observation are sufficient. However, surgical intervention may be necessary in more severe or persistent cases.

Diagnosis

At Aapka Care, the doctors are well trained in diagnosing the hydrocele with modern equipment and perform a physical examination to detect the root cause. The doctor may check for tenderness in the scrotum while putting slight pressure around the scrotum and lower abdominal region. If the fluid is present, the scrotum will allow light transmission. The doctor may also ask you to cough to check whether you experience pain in the scrotum region. There are a few diagnostic tests the doctor may recommend to find the underlying cause: Blood test - Urine culture

Procedure

Open hydrocelectomy: This is a surgical procedure that is usually performed under the influence of general anesthesia. During this procedure, the surgeon makes a cut in the scrotum or groin area and drains out the fluid via suction. The surgeon then closes the communication to the canal between the abdominal cavity and the scrotum, before removing the hydrocele sac and closing the incisions with sutures or surgical strips

What complications can arise if hydrocele is left untreated?

Severe cases of hydrocele can cause serious complications. Some of the potential complications are listed below:

  • If the size of the hydrocele continues growing, it can lead to obstruction in the blood flow. And when the blood flow is not proper in the testicles, it will further give rise to testicular atrophy causing degeneration of the testicular cells.
  • Another complication that can arise if hydrocele is rupture. Due to the large volume of fluid accumulation in the scrotum, the hydrocele may rupture due to minimal spontaneous trauma.
  • The hydrocele may transform into a haematocele if there is bleeding in the sac. And if the haematocele is not drained, a clotted haematocele will form as a result.
  • Calcification of the sac is also a potential complication of leaving hydrocele untreated.
  • The hydrocele may become infected during aspiration which will increase the swelling and inflammation.
  • Infected hydroceles can also cause pyocele, accumulation of pus in the scrotum.

Normally, these complications can be identified during diagnosis before the treatment method is selected. All these complications are observed for at least 24-48 hours before proceeding with the treatment
