Hydrocele Surgery: Safe, Effective Relief for Scrotal Swelling #DrVikeshMutha #MahavirHospitalKamshet
A hydrocele is a common yet often uncomfortable condition that causes swelling in the scrotum due to fluid accumulation around the testicle. While it is usually painless, a hydrocele can gradually increase in size, cause heaviness, discomfort, and affect daily activities or confidence.
At Mahavir Hospital, Kamshet, we frequently treat patients who delayed consultation thinking the swelling would resolve on its own. In many cases, hydrocele surgery offers a simple and permanent solution.
What Is a Hydrocele?
A hydrocele occurs when fluid collects in the thin sac surrounding one or both testicles. It is common in newborns but can also develop in adults due to infection, inflammation, injury, or after surgery.
Although hydroceles are generally not dangerous, long-standing swelling should always be medically evaluated to rule out underlying causes.
Common Symptoms of Hydrocele
• Painless swelling in one or both sides of the scrotum
• Feeling of heaviness or discomfort
• Enlarged scrotum that increases over time
• Difficulty during walking, sitting, or physical activity
Pain is usually absent unless the hydrocele becomes very large or infected.
When Is Surgery Required?
Small hydroceles may be monitored, but surgery is advised when:
• Swelling continues to increase
• Discomfort interferes with daily life
• Infection or inflammation is suspected
• Diagnosis needs confirmation
• Cosmetic or quality-of-life concerns arise
Hydrocele surgery is a safe and effective treatment with excellent long-term results.
How Is Hydrocele Surgery Performed?
Hydrocele surgery (hydrocelectomy) is a straightforward procedure performed under anaesthesia. The surgeon removes or repairs the fluid-filled sac to prevent recurrence.
At Mahavir Hospital, we focus on:
• Precise diagnosis
• Minimal tissue handling
• Reduced discomfort
• Faster recovery
Most patients are discharged the same day or within 24 hours.
Recovery After Hydrocele Surgery
Recovery is usually smooth with proper care:
• Mild swelling may persist temporarily
• Light activities can resume within a few days
• Heavy lifting should be avoided for a short period
• Follow-up ensures proper healing
Patients generally return to normal routine quickly with significant relief from symptoms.
Why Early Treatment Matters
Delaying treatment may lead to increased swelling, discomfort, and anxiety. Early surgical intervention not only improves comfort but also restores confidence and mobility.
Hydrocele surgery is highly successful, and recurrence is uncommon when performed correctly.
