Hydrocele Treatment – Hydrocelectomy
A hydrocele is a fluid-filled sac that develops around the testicle, often causing swelling in the scrotum. It may result from injury, infection, or inflammation of the testicle or epididymis. While generally painless, larger hydroceles can cause discomfort, heaviness, and embarrassment.
At Sarthi Care, we offer hydrocelectomy, a safe and permanent surgical solution to remove the hydrocele sac and prevent recurrence.
Hydrocelectomy is a minimally invasive procedure performed under local or general anesthesia. A small incision is made in the scrotum or groin to drain the fluid and remove or repair the hydrocele sac. The area is then stitched carefully to prevent future buildup.
Most patients can return home the same day. Recovery typically takes 7–10 days. Mild discomfort, swelling, or bruising is normal and can be managed with prescribed medication. Patients are advised to avoid heavy lifting, sexual activity, and strenuous exercise during recovery.
Hydrocelectomy is a highly effective treatment with a very low risk of recurrence. It provides complete relief from swelling and discomfort, significantly improving the patient’s comfort and confidence.
