Hydrocele Treatment
A hydrocele is a painless buildup of watery fluid around one or both testicles that causes the scrotum or groin area to swell. This swelling may be unsightly and uncomfortable, but it usually is not painful and generally is not dangerous. Although hydroceles are common in newborns, they can also occur at any age in later life. If you are concerned about a hydrocele, it’s essential to consult a Hydrocele Treatment Doctor In Vashi for a proper evaluation and management.
How is a Hydrocele Diagnosed?
A hydrocele is usually diagnosed by an examination of the scrotum, which may appear enlarged. As part of the examination, your doctor will shine a light behind each testicle (transillumination). This is to check for solid masses that may be caused by other problems, such as cancer of the testicle. Hydroceles are filled with fluid, so light will shine through them (transillumination). Light will not pass through solid masses that may be caused by other problems, such as cancer of the testicle. An ultrasound may also be used to confirm the diagnosis of a hydrocele.
How is it Treated?
Hydroceles are not usually dangerous and are treated only when they cause pain or embarrassment or when they decrease the blood supply to the penis (rare). Treatment is not usually needed if a hydrocele does not change in size or gets smaller as the body reabsorbs the fluid. Hydroceles in men younger than 65 may go away by themselves. However, hydroceles in older men do not usually resolve on their own. If you're experiencing symptoms, it’s advisable to see a Hydrocele Treatment Doctor In Vashi for appropriate guidance.
Fluid can also be removed from a hydrocele with a needle (aspiration). However, hydroceles that are aspirated often return, and surgery may then be needed. Aspiration is recommended only for men who are not physically able to have surgery because of the risk of infection and recurrence. If the hydrocele gets larger or causes discomfort, surgery to remove the hydrocele (hydrocelectomy) may be needed. To ensure effective treatment, consulting a Hydrocele Treatment Doctor In Vashi is crucial.

Patient Reviews
"I had my gallstone removal surgery very recently by Dr Abhijit Bagul. I was deep pain and the surgery was critical but with his experience and precision the whole process went of smoothly and I was walking without any help the very next day. I have seen many who had pain and discomfort after the surgery. But I have started walking, playing sports and doing household chores quite smoothly. Highly recommended if you have similar problem and looking for the best surgeon. He is definitely the one"
"Dr Abhijit Bagul is an excellent and experienced doctor. I was referred to him for a fitsula (Abscess) and my experience during the entire treatment (and surgery) was very good. He makes you understand the problem, suggest the best possible treatment and is very professional. He personally gets involved, during the entire process and also give proper instructions, guidance for post operation care procedures. I would recommend him and rate him as one of the best surgeons in Mumbai."
