Hydrocele - this is a disease in which fluid accumulates between the membranes of the testicle. This causes the scrotum to enlarge, causing discomfort when walking and urinating, problems with erection, and other unpleasant symptoms.

The disease can be cured surgically. At «Oxford Medical» the operation is performed using minimally invasive techniques under local or general anesthesia. Thanks to this, rehabilitation is quick and easy, and the scar remains almost invisible.

Hydrocele can affect one or both testicles at once, and can be acute or chronic. Acute is characterized by a sharp deterioration in well-being, while chronic symptoms are mild, but persist for a long time, and intensify during the exacerbation period.

You should consult a doctor if the following symptoms appear:

• scrotal swelling, increase in size;

• discomfort during urination;

• discomfort, pain when walking, playing sports;

• pain in the groin area;

• erectile dysfunction;

• fever;

• general weakness.

Before the operation, the patient is prescribed additional examinations: blood and urine tests, cardiogram (ECG), fluorography (the result is valid for 1 year). In the presence of chronic diseases, consultations with an anesthesiologist and doctors of other specialties may also be required.

If the operation is performed under local anesthesia, the patient can be discharged on the same day. After general anesthesia, it is recommended to stay in the clinic for 24 hours.
