A hydrocele is a build-up of fluid around a testicle. This can appear as a swelling in your scrotum, which is the bag or sac containing the testicles. You may have the condition on one or both sides of the scrotum.
Hydroceles are most common in babies, but they can also develop later in life. For example, a hydrocele may be caused by:
Usually, hydroceles are painless and disappear without treatment. In some cases, however, a hydrocele can grow bigger and cause pain, swelling and discomfort in your scrotum. You may then be offered a short procedure to remove or repair the fluid-filled sac. You are given a general anaesthetic, which means that you are asleep and do not feel any pain. The surgeon makes a small cut in your scrotum and drains the fluid in the sac around your testicle. The sac is either removed or turned inside out and stitched in place to prevent more fluid from collecting.
