Hi,

"A hydrocele is a fluid-filled sac surrounding a testicle that results in swelling of the scrotum, the loose bag of skin underneath the penis. About one in 10 male infants has a hydrocele at birth, but most hydroceles disappear without treatment within the first year of life. Additionally, men — usually older than 40 — can develop a hydrocele due to inflammation or injury within the scrotum.

Hydroceles usually aren't painful. Typically not harmful, hydroceles may require no treatment."

Do keep us posted on your doubts

I went to a surgeon to have a hernia removed.  He noticed a hydrocele and said he could do both at once.  He has done hydroceles about 2 per month.....would you recommend this  general surgeon to do the hydrocele and the hernia or a urologist for the hydrocele?
