Hydrocelectomy Treatment
Hydrocelectomy at
Ashven Health
\Hydrocelectomy is a surgical procedure performed to remove a hydrocele, which is an abnormal fluid-filled sac around the testicle.
What is a Hydrocele?
A hydrocele is a swelling in the scrotum caused by fluid accumulation around the testicle. Although common in infants, it can also affect adults due to infections, injuries, or other medical conditions. While not life-threatening, untreated hydroceles may cause discomfort and lead to complications.
Causes of Hydrocele
Obstruction Causes
- Injury or trauma to the scrotum
- Inflammation or infection of the testicle or epididymis
- Imbalance in fluid absorption and secretion
Other Risk Factors
- Age-related tissue weakness
- Complications from surgery or medical conditions
- Congenital hydrocele present since birth
Symptoms of Hydrocele
Visible Symptoms
- Noticeable swelling in the scrotum
- Heavy or dragging sensation
