what would cause painful ejaculations with hydroceles of both testicles? the doctor states that they are small hydroceles of both testicles and should go away on there own....however this has been going on for about six months and only getting worse...we cannot even have sex due to the pain increasing with ejaculation. Please Help!

It is possible but unlikely that hydroceles would be the cause of painful ejaculations. I would first rule out infection - which can be done with a urethral swab or urine test. I would also do a thorough prostate check to evaluate for any infection.
Anatomical abnormalities - such as urethral strictures or polyps - can also cause these symptoms. A cystoscopy can be done to evaluate for these possibilities.
I would suggest a referral to a urologist if not already done. I would discuss these options with your personal physician.
Followup with your personal physician is essential.
