Frequently Asked Quetions

Hydrocele, the incidence of which increases with age, is a benign condition and does not turn into cancer. The most frequent symptom is painless swelling in the testicles that grows slowly over time. According to the size of this swelling, whether there is pain and the patient's aesthetic concern, the situation is followed up and the treatment process is planned. In addition, this condition, which is seen in children, is usually accompanied by a hernia, and in this case, a surgical procedure is performed. In addition, if Hydrocele is seen alone, the possibility of improvement over time is considered and the child is observed until the age of 2 years. During the physical examination, the vesicles that cause swelling are illuminated, and the permeability of the light indicates that the vesicles are filled with fluid. The absence of light permeability is also an indication of tumor development in the vesicles.

For the cases seen in childhood, the child is observed until the age of 2 and surgical procedure is applied when the situation does not improve spontaneously.
