How is hydrocele treated?

Patient's question:

Doctor, hello. I would like to consult about how to treat hydrocele of the testis. A while ago, I always felt discomfort in my testicles, so I went to the hospital for a check-up. They said it was hydrocele of the testis and mentioned that if it's severe, it could lead to male infertility. I would like to ask how to treat hydrocele of the testis.

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.
Suggestions: For hydrocele of the testis, it is recommended to go to a professional and regular hospital specializing in infertility and reproductive medicine to complete the examination, identify the cause, and receive treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Surgical treatment generally yields good results, and postoperative care should focus on preventing wound infection.
