Can bilateral hydroceles be treated without surgery?

Patient's question:

During a physical examination, I discovered that I have hydrocele, and it's bilateral. I heard that this condition requires surgical treatment. Can bilateral hydrocele not be treated without surgery?

Doctor's answer:

For hydrocele of the testis, it is recommended to undergo surgical treatment. If the accumulation is excessive, it may cause damage to testicular function. Regarding your specific condition, it is advised to actively seek medical examination to clarify the situation before formulating a specific treatment plan. Additionally, if surgical treatment is confirmed, there is no need to worry, as the surgery is not as troublesome as you might imagine.
