Is there a relationship between testicular hydrocele and epididymitis?

Patient's question:

I would like to ask if hydrocele has anything to do with epididymitis? I mainly have hydrocele, how should it be treated?

Doctor's answer:

They are not the same disease, but they have a close relationship: long-term epididymitis can lead to hydrocele, and hydrocele can exacerbate inflammation. For the treatment of hydrocele, a specific treatment plan should be formulated based on the patient's specific condition, which may include medication, physical therapy, or puncture treatment. It is recommended to first go to the hospital for examination to clarify the condition before formulating the corresponding treatment plan.
