I'm 26 and I was diagnosed with a small hydrocele on my left testicle. No testicluar cancer as I had suspected and a clean bill of health. As a matter of fact, my doctor called me thirty minutes ago with the ultrasound results. I immediately searched the net to find more information and landed on your site. In five minutes I got the information I wanted. You run a valuable service . . . thank you.
My question is simple. I read Q & A about surgery for a hydrocele. Nothing of this sort was mentioned by my doctor. I do have slight occasional pain, but other than scaring the sh*t out of me it hasn't caused me any problems. Should I see a urologist about my condition just to be on the safe side? Also when is surgery considered necessary or pursued. You all seem to know more than my doctor.
Thanks Again,
Jeff K.
