How to deal with the pain and swelling of hydrocele

Patient's question:

Right-sided effusion, distending pain, pulling sensation, effusion fluctuating in size, larger at night than before

Doctor's answer:

In this case, there is hydrocele, which generally reduces and causes symptoms such as pain after catching a cold, overexertion, and compression. To prevent overwork and strain, minimize exercise, wear loose underwear, avoid compression, and use hot towels for hot and cold compresses. Severe cases may require surgical treatment. For patients with hydrocele, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If not treated in time, it may affect the overall health condition. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and maintain a regular sex life in daily life to avoid prolonged sitting.
