Hi.
Thanks for your query.
With the history of Hydrocele in past and presence of crystals on ultrasonography indicates that there is still may a small amount of hydrocele fluid.
The appearance of the hydrocele fluid always have crystals. These are cholesterol crystal.
If there is minimal or no fluid, nothing to worry, this is a normal appearance.
Just follow up with your Doctor and Ultrasonography every 6 months.
I hope this answer helps you.
