Cause And Management Of Hydrocele: A Review Article

Dr. Jagdish Dave

Abstract :

 Abnormal collection of serous fluid between the visceral and parietal layers of the tunica vaginalis is termed as hydrocele. It is the commonest reason for painless scrotal swelling and affects about 1% of men, mostly above forty years of age, and 4.7% neonates. Normally it is idiopathic in origin, yet infection, variococelectomy, inguinal surgery, a patent processus vaginalis and trauma are linked with its consequent expansion. The diagnosis is usually clinical. Taking a thorough history is essential to rule out any fluctuation in size, which is an indication of a patent processus vaginalis. Hydroceles can be treated through surgical resection with an inguinal method, a combination of thrombolytic therapy, catheter drainage and subsequent alcohol ablation, or through sclerotherapy and aspiration.
