A hydrocele is a painless buildup of watery fluid around one or both testicles that causes the scrotum or groin area to swell. This swelling may be unsightly and uncomfortable, but it usually is not painful and generally is not dangerous. Although hydroceles are common in newborns, they can also occur at any age in later life. See a picture of a hydrocele.
HYDROCELE
A hydrocele can be produced in four ways:
by excessive production of fluid within the sac, e.g. secondary hydrocele
through defective absorption of fluid
by interference with lymphatic drainage of scrotal structures as in case of elephantiasis
by connection with a hernia of the peritoneal cavity in the congenital variety, which presents as hydrocele of the cord
SYMPTOMS
Hydroceles usually don’t cause any pain. Usually, the only symptom is a swollen scrotum. In adult men, there may be a feeling of heaviness in the scrotum. In some cases, the swelling might be worse in the morning than in the evening.
