Repair of a scrotal hydrocele

Repair of a scrotal hydrocele

British Association of Urological Surgeons (BAUS)

A hydrocele is a collection of fluid which develops around the testis (or testicle) and feels like a lump. The swelling usually develops very gradually. Treatment is not usually required unless the swelling is uncomfortable or increasing in size. This leaflet outlines the treatment that may be necessary.
