Frequently asked questions
What is a hydrocele?
A hydrocele is a fluid-filled sac that forms around a testicle, leading to swelling in the scrotum. It’s usually painless and common in newborns, but can also occur in adult men.
What causes a hydrocele in adults?
In adults, hydroceles may result from injury, infection, inflammation (such as epididymitis), or post-surgical complications. Sometimes, the cause may not be clearly identifiable.
Is a hydrocele dangerous or cancerous?
No, a hydrocele is typically not dangerous or cancerous. However, it can cause discomfort, affect mobility, or indicate underlying issues that should be assessed by a urologist.
How is a hydrocele diagnosed?
Diagnosis usually involves a physical examination and may include an ultrasound to rule out hernias, tumors, or other conditions causing scrotal swelling.
Do all hydroceles require surgery?
Not always. Small, painless hydroceles may not need treatment and can be monitored. However, large or symptomatic hydroceles often require surgical removal for relief.
What is a hydrocelectomy?
A hydrocelectomy is a minor surgical procedure used to remove or repair the fluid-filled sac. It is typically done as an outpatient surgery with a short recovery time.
How long does recovery take after hydrocele surgery?
Most patients recover within 1–2 weeks. You may resume normal activities after a few days, but strenuous activity or lifting should be avoided for about 2–3 weeks.
Is hydrocele surgery painful?
The procedure is generally not painful as it is performed under anesthesia. Mild discomfort or swelling may occur afterward and is manageable with medication.
Can hydroceles come back after surgery?
Recurrence is rare but possible. Choosing an experienced surgeon and following post-operative instructions can help minimize the risk.
Is hydrocele treatment covered by insurance?
Yes, hydrocele evaluation and surgery are typically covered under most health insurance plans if deemed medically necessary. It’s best to verify with your provider.
Hydrocele Treatment
A hydrocele is a fluid-filled swelling in the scrotum, typically surrounding one of the testicles. It is a common condition in newborns but can also affect adult men due to injury, infection, or inflammation. While hydroceles are usually painless and harmless, larger or symptomatic hydroceles may require medical or surgical treatment.

Understanding Hydrocele Surgery
Hydrocele surgery, or hydrocelectomy, is a short outpatient procedure where the fluid-filled sac is removed or repaired through a small incision in the scrotum or groin. The surgery is typically done under local or general anesthesia and involves minimal downtime.
At SurgiPartner, we use minimally invasive surgical techniques that reduce scarring, ensure faster healing, and prevent recurrence of the hydrocele.
