How To Get Rid Of Hydrocele?

Nephew has Hydrocele, extremely painful, size of a canteloupe or smaller watermelon, hangs to knees. Told tissue in scrotum is acting like a sponge and cannot be drained or aspirated. Cannot do surgery or nephew could bleed to death. Platelets are low. Told 5-15-14 nothing could be done, low platelets not treated, only Tylenol until 5-20-14 when Tramadol was prescribed. Can you help or recommend a doctor near Altoona, PA who may have more knowledge or experience in this area?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. He has hydrocele. Treatment of choice is surgery. He should go for surgery for hydrocele. If he has low platelet count then search for the cause. It can be due to viral infection, low production or ITP. He should take treatment for platelet count first then go for surgery. You can consult any general surgeon for that. It is very easy operation. Nothing to worry much about that.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
