How should hydrocele of the testis be treated?

Patient's question:

My two testicular tunics have a large amount of fluid accumulated inside, with a fluctuating sensation when touched with the hand. When squeezed, the fluid remains within the tunical cavity, showing no change in volume and cannot be transferred to other places (such as the abdominal cavity). The entire testicle and scrotum do not exhibit symptoms of inflammation, such as redness, swelling, heat, or pain, and there are no other discomforts. Additionally, there is no occurrence of infection due to skin damage, so it does not seem to be caused by inflammation. How should the hydrocele of the testicle be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your description, hydrocele is a cyst formed by the accumulation of fluid in the tunica vaginalis exceeding the normal amount. A small amount can be absorbed spontaneously, while a large amount can be treated through methods such as fluid aspiration or surgery.
Advice: For hydrocele of the testis, it is recommended to go to a professional and regular hospital specializing in infertility and sterility for comprehensive examinations to identify the cause. Under the guidance of a doctor, treatment should be carried out. Generally, surgical treatment yields good results, and postoperative care should focus on preventing wound infection.
