Hydrocele
Hydrocele – Gentle & Effective Surgical Treatment for Lasting Relief
Overview
A hydrocele is a fluid-filled swelling around the testicle, usually within the scrotum. It is common in newborns but can also occur in adults due to injury, infection, or inflammation.
While hydroceles in infants often resolve on their own, in adults they usually persist and may require surgical removal (hydrocelectomy) if they cause discomfort, swelling, or interfere with daily life.
Our minimally invasive and conventional surgical techniques provide a safe, quick, and permanent solution.
When to Seek Treatment
You may need hydrocele treatment if you experience:
Painless swelling in the scrotum that gradually increases in size
A feeling of heaviness in the scrotum
Discomfort during walking, sitting, or sexual activity
Redness, pain, or tenderness (may indicate infection)
Benefits of Hydrocele Surgery
Permanent removal of fluid collection
Relief from heaviness and swelling
Restored comfort in daily activities
Outpatient or day-care procedure in most cases
Quick recovery and minimal recurrence risk
How the Procedure Works
Anesthesia: Local, spinal, or general anesthesia is given for comfort.
Incision: A small incision is made in the scrotum or groin.
Fluid Removal: The hydrocele sac is drained and removed.
Repair: Surrounding tissues are reinforced to prevent recurrence.
Closure: The incision is closed with absorbable sutures.
Preparation Before Surgery
