A hydrocele causes a painless enlargement in the scrotum on the affected side and is thought to be due to the defective absorption of fluid secreted between the two layers of the tunica vaginalis, a membrane which surrounds the testicle and usually has a thin film of fluid within.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A hydrocele feels like a small fluid filled balloon inside the scrotum. It is smooth and can vary greatly in size. Hydroceles are normally painless and harmless. Large hydroceles cause discomfort because of their size. As the fluid of a hydrocele is transparent, light shone through a hydrocele may be visible from the other side.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2984a3c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2984a3c\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-cd28b46\" data-id=\"cd28b46\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b07cfbd elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"b07cfbd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"489\" src=\"https:\/\/urologysussex.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/hydorcoele-1024x489.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2236\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/urologysussex.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/hydorcoele-1024x489.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/urologysussex.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/hydorcoele-300x143.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/urologysussex.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/hydorcoele-768x367.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/urologysussex.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/hydorcoele-1536x734.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/urologysussex.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/hydorcoele-2048x979.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-105cf3d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"105cf3d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Epididymal cyst or spermatocoele<\/strong><\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An epididymal cyst or spermatocele is a cyst of the head of the epididymis which is distended with a milky fluid that contains spermatozoa. They are the most common cause of a swelling in the scrotum, and can vary in size from a few mm to several centimetres. They are generally not painful. However, some men may experience discomfort from larger spermatoceles.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Epididymal cysts can be discovered as incidental scrotal masses found on examination of the testicles. They may also be discovered by self-inspection by the patient. Some patients describe that on examination they have found a third testicle.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finding a painless, cystic mass above the testicle will usually indicate that an epididymal cyst is the cause of the swelling, but confirmation with an ultrasound is recommended.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Only large, symptomatic cysts required any treatment, and the recommended treatment is excision of the cyst.

Smaller cysts, or those which do not cause symptoms, are best left alone.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scrotal Swellings Hydrocoele \u00a0 A hydrocele is an accumulation of clear fluid around the testicle.
