What is a hydrocele?
A hydrocele is a type of swelling in the scrotum, the pouch of skin that holds the testicles. It occurs when fluid builds up in the sac surrounding the testicle. Hydroceles are usually painless and not harmful, and they may not require treatment if there are no symptoms. However, if you notice swelling in the scrotum, it is important to consult a healthcare provider for proper evaluation.
Hydroceles are common in newborns and often resolve on their own by the age of one. They can also develop in adults, typically due to injury, infection, or other underlying health conditions.
For expert care, you can contact SurgiKure to book a consultation with experienced urologists and receive effective, minimally invasive hydrocele treatment.

How is a hydrocele diagnosed?
Before starting treatment, your urologist will perform a few simple tests to confirm the diagnosis and assess the severity of the condition, along with your overall health. The process typically includes:
- Physical Examination: Your doctor will examine the scrotum for swelling and check for signs of a hydrocele.
- Medical History Review: You may be asked about your past medical or surgical history, current medications, and any recent injuries or trauma to the scrotal area.
To better understand the condition, additional tests may include:
- Transillumination: A light is shone through the scrotum. If the swelling is due to fluid, the light passes through and the area glows. If it’s a solid mass, the light will not pass through.
- Ultrasound: This imaging test uses sound waves to create detailed images, helping confirm the diagnosis and evaluate the size and nature of the hydrocele.
- Blood Tests: These may be done to detect infections such as epididymitis or other underlying causes.
These diagnostic steps help ensure an accurate diagnosis and guide the most appropriate treatment plan.

The best treatment for a hydrocele depends on its size, symptoms, and the patient’s overall health. In mild cases, observation may be sufficient if there are no symptoms. For larger or symptomatic hydroceles, treatment options include needle drainage to remove the fluid or surgical removal of the hydrocele sac (hydrocelectomy), which provides a more permanent solution.
Hydroceles are mainly classified into two types: communicating and non-communicating.
- Communicating Hydrocele: This type occurs when there is a connection between the abdominal cavity and the scrotum, allowing fluid to flow into the scrotal sac.
- Non-communicating Hydrocele: In this type, fluid collects in the scrotum without any connection to the abdomen.
Both types can be either congenital (present at birth) or acquired later in life.
Yes, although rare, hydroceles can occur in females. This happens due to fluid accumulation in the canal of Nuck, a small extension of the peritoneum into the inguinal canal. In females, a hydrocele may present as swelling in the groin (inguinal region) or the labial area.
