hydrochlorothiazide to treat hydrocele
by nuelo, Sep 07, 2007 02:46PM
I was told by a doctor that hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) could help eliminate some of the fluid accumulated in my hydrocele. What do you think of this approach? How would it work? Would it work? (FYI, I am about to schedule myself a hydrocelectomy to resolve the problem).

Being a female I don't know alot about this but I had thought the fluid was aspirated via syringe. I take HCTZ and I was under the impression that it removed fluid from soft tissue. The scrotum is a protuberance of skin and muscle, not soft tissue. And personally...I don't think HCTZ is a very powerful water pill however it is a great cheap blood pressure med. If you don't have high blood pressure, I would be very wary of taking this med. It could make your b/p drop dangerously low!
