Hydrocele
A hydrocele is the accumulation of fluid around the testicle, within the sac that covers it, which produces an increase in the size of the scrotum, generally without pain.
How it presents: It is usually noticed as swelling on one or both sides of the scrotum, which may vary in size; at times it produces a feeling of heaviness.
When to seek care? When there is any increase in volume or swelling in the scrotum, in children or adults, an evaluation is advisable to determine its origin.
Which specialist treats it? The urologist evaluates the scrotum and, in the youngest patients, the pediatric surgeon or the pediatrician as well. Identifying the change and discussing it with a professional makes it possible to clarify the situation with peace of mind.
