When abdominal fluid flows into the scrotum and gets collected there, the condition is called hydrocele. It does not cause pain but swelling. In babies, hydrocele can disappear on its own. In adults, hydrocele is usually the result of either some inflammation or an injury of the scrotum.
Hydroceles are of two types:
The urologist will conduct a thorough diagnosis to understand the severity of the hydrocele. The doctor may ask regarding the family’s medical history and the first instance when you have noticed the swelling in your scrotum. The doctor could ask to get some lab tests like; blood tests and urine tests that support the hydrocele diagnosis to identify the underlying cause.
In addition, the doctor may perform a simple physical examination to evaluate the condition. The hydrocele specialist may touch your genitals to check the tenderness around the scrotum region. To detect the hydrocele’s complexity, the specialist may use a light across the scrotum to identify the cause of the swelling. Suppose the transillumination shows a clear fluid-filled testicle it refers to as hydrocele. And if the light doesn’t transilluminate, the doctor may ask for other diagnostic tests to perform the suitable treatment.
Laser hydrocelectomy: Undergoing a laser hydrocelectomy is the most long-lasting repair of hydrocele, with a much reduced risk of recurrence and a quicker rate of recovery with no risks of infection or blood clots. Performed under the influence of an anaesthesia, this procedure uses a high-intensity laser beam to drain the accumulated fluid. The doctor then removes the sac in order to prevent the recurrence of the condition. The procedure is completed in less than 30 minutes and the patient in most cases can go home in 6 to 12 hours after the 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.
