Older boys and adult men can develop a hydrocele due to inflammation or injury within the scrotum. A hydrocele is a fluid-filled sac that surrounds a testicle and causes swelling in the scrotum. Hydrocele is common in newborns and typically goes away without treatment during the first year of life.
If you have scrotal swelling, see your doctor to rule out other causes since a hydrocele is typically not painful or harmful and may not require any treatment.
CausesThe testicles normally descend from the developing baby’s abdominal cavity into the scrotum, where they are surrounded by fluid by the presence of sacs that accompany each testicle.
The fluid is typically absorbed gradually within the first year of life and each sac usually closes, with the exception of noncommunicating hydrocele, where fluid can persist after the sac closes.
While communicating hydroceles are frequently related to inguinal hernias, the scrotal sac can occasionally remain open, change in size, or become compressed, allowing fluid to flow back into the abdomen.
Older males
Injury or inflammation in the scrotum can result in the development of a hydrocele. Inflammation may be brought on by an infection in the testicle or in the tiny, coiled tube at the back of each testicle (epididymitis).
One or both testicles may swell painlessly, which is typically the only symptom of a hydrocele.
The heaviness of a swollen scrotum in adult men with a hydrocele may cause discomfort; pain is typically inversely correlated with the extent of the inflammation.
