Expert Answers About Scrotal Swelling (Hydrocele)

Are you looking for clear, confidential answers about hydrocele treatment? You don’t have to spend the weekend worrying. As a leading specialist in Midlands, I offer private consultations to provide a swift diagnosis and a clear path to resolving your discomfort.

A hydrocele is a type of scrotal swelling caused by a build-up of fluid in the sac that naturally surrounds a testicle. While the swelling to the testicles can be a cause for concern, it is important to know that a hydrocele is not a tumour and does not affect fertility. However, any swelling should be properly diagnosed by a healthcare provider.

The main symptom of a hydrocele is a painless, swollen scrotum, which can affect one or both sides. The swelling often feels like a small, fluid-filled balloon. While typically painless, a larger hydrocele can cause a feeling of heaviness or discomfort due to its size and weight.

In adult men, a hydrocele will not go away on its own. While a small hydrocele that isn’t causing any issues can be monitored, the only permanent hydrocele treatment for one that is large or causes discomfort is surgery. Draining the fluid with a needle is not a permanent solution as the fluid almost always returns.

Hydrocele surgery (also known as hydrocele repair) is performed as a day case while you are completely asleep under general anaesthesia, so you will not feel any pain. The surgeon makes a small incision to drain the fluid and remove the sac that holds it, which prevents the hydrocele from coming back. The procedure typically lasts around 30 minutes and the incision is closed with dissolvable stitches.

That’s a very fair question to ask, and it highlights a key difference in the level of care you receive with us. Your health and safety are our absolute priorities, and our pricing reflects the comprehensive, hospital-based service we guarantee.

When you are treated by us, your procedure takes place in a state-of-the-art surgical theatre at Spire Little Aston Hospital, not a multi-purpose clinic or treatment room.

Crucially, you are cared for by an entire specialist team. During any operation, I am supported by an excellent and experienced team of interventional radiologists, anaesthetists, specialist nursing staff, and dedicated support teams. This collaborative, hospital-based approach is vital for ensuring the highest standards of medical safety and care.

Furthermore, our care package is all-inclusive. This means that your journey with us doesn’t end when you leave the hospital. All necessary follow-up appointments and the management of any post-operative concerns are handled directly by us, in the same private hospital setting. You can be assured that you will not be ‘palmed off’ to the NHS; you receive continuous, seamless care from our team from your first consultation to your full recovery.

What Causes a Hydrocele?

A hydrocele is fundamentally caused by a build-up of fluid in the thin sac surrounding a testicle. This happens when the body either produces too much of this lubricating fluid or doesn’t properly reabsorb the excess.

Common triggers for this fluid imbalance include:

Injury or Trauma: A direct blow or injury to the scrotum.
Infection or Inflammation: Swelling caused by an infection of the testicle (orchitis) or the small tube behind it (epididymitis).
Idiopathic Causes: In many adult men, a hydrocele develops slowly over time for no apparent reason.

Key Symptoms of a Hydrocele

The Primary Sign: Painless Swelling

The most common symptom is a noticeable but usually painless swelling in the scrotum, affecting one or both sides. Many men describe the feeling as a soft, smooth “water balloon” around the testicle.

Associated Sensations of Discomfort

A Feeling of Heaviness: A dragging or heavy sensation in the scrotum, especially after standing for a while.
General Discomfort: As a hydrocele grows larger, its size and weight can cause a dull ache or general discomfort.
Pressure: Some men report a sense of pressure at the base of the penis or in the groin area.
