Hydrocele Treatment in Bangalore | Genesiss Multi-Speciality Hospital

Hydrocele is a condition in which fluid accumulates around the testicle, leading to swelling of the scrotum. At Genesiss Multispeciality Hospital, hydrocele treatment is planned after proper evaluation to confirm the diagnosis and provide safe surgical correction when required, helping relieve discomfort and prevent future complications.


What Is a Hydrocele?

A hydrocele is a collection of clear fluid around one or both testicles. It usually presents as painless scrotal swelling, though some patients may experience heaviness or discomfort as the swelling increases.

In adults, hydrocele may develop due to:

  • Injury or trauma
  • Infection or inflammation
  • Previous surgery
  • Underlying testicular or scrotal conditions

Hydrocele treatment may be advised when:

  • Scrotal swelling continues to increase in size
  • Heaviness or discomfort affects daily activities
  • Pain develops in the scrotal area
  • Infection or inflammation is suspected
  • The swelling does not reduce over time

A urologist evaluates the condition before recommending treatment.


Symptoms That May Require Hydrocele Treatment

Patients with hydrocele may notice:

  • Painless swelling on one or both sides of the scrotum
  • A feeling of heaviness in the scrotal area
  • Discomfort while standing, walking, or sitting
  • Enlarged scrotum affecting daily comfort

Any persistent scrotal swelling should be medically evaluated to rule out other conditions.


How Hydrocele Is Diagnosed

To confirm hydrocele and exclude other causes of scrotal swelling, doctors may perform:

Test Purpose
Physical examination To assess size and nature of swelling
Scrotal ultrasound To confirm fluid collection and rule out testicular disease
Blood or urine tests If infection or inflammation is suspected

Accurate diagnosis helps guide the correct treatment plan.


Hydrocele Treatment Options

Hydrocele treatment depends on symptom severity and patient comfort.

Observation

  • Small, painless hydroceles may be monitored
  • Regular follow-up ensures no increase in size or complications

Surgical Treatment (Hydrocelectomy)

  • Recommended for symptomatic or persistent hydrocele
  • Fluid is removed and the sac is corrected to prevent recurrence
  • Performed in a sterile operating theatre under anesthesia

The choice of treatment is individualised after clinical evaluation.


What Happens After Hydrocele Surgery?

After treatment:

  • Scrotal swelling gradually reduces
  • Mild pain or discomfort may occur temporarily
  • Pain-relieving medicines are prescribed as needed
  • Supportive care helps proper healing
  • Follow-up visits ensure recovery and rule out recurrence

Recovery After Hydrocele Surgery

Recovery is usually smooth and uncomplicated:

  • Most patients return home within a short period
  • Normal activities resume gradually as advised
  • Swelling reduces over time
  • Follow-up appointments monitor healing
  • Guidance is provided on activity restriction and scrotal care

When Should You Consult a Urologist After Treatment?

Medical review is advised if you experience:

  • Increasing pain or swelling
  • Fever or signs of infection
  • Redness, discharge, or wound issues
  • Delayed healing

Early review helps prevent complications.
