General & Family Physician,  's  Response
It is collection of fluid between two layers of testicular covering membrane. It causes swelling of scrotum. Large collection of fluid causes testicular shrinkage. In adults, hydroceles do not need treatment, if there is normal testicle or the patient remains asymptomatic. There is no preventive measure for hydrocele. Surgery is the best treatment. Sclerotherapy by injection is also available but its success rate is low.
Advice
1.     Consult a general surgeon for surgery
2.     Wear a scrotal support – T band
3.     Ibuprofen 600 mg per oral after meal if pain is intolerable
Thanks
