When it comes to the treatment of hydrocele, there arent many medications available. There isn’t anything that can be done to prevent hydroceles in infants; it resolves itself. However, in adult males, the best thing to do to avoid hydroceles is to keep the areas away from any injury or trauma. Hydroceles don’t cause trouble for the person in most cases. Although, people need to seek medical attention if their scrotum is swelling up. There is a chance of some underlying condition that might be causing the scrotum to swell. Drainage is an alternative used to treat hydrocele. The fluid that fills the scrotum can be drained away by using a needle and a syringe. Although, in a few months there will be more fluid present. So the person might have to drain the fluid every couple of months. This is a good alternative if the patient doesn’t want to undergo surgery. In rare cases, after drainage, the person is given sclerotherapy to stop the fluid from coming back. However, this is not a common technique that is used. Sclerotherapy is given to people who are not suitable for surgery. If the hydrocele is causing severe discomfort or pain in the person, surgery is advised. If the hydrocele is getting large, a small incision is made on the scrotum or the abdominal wall. Then the medical professional will proceed to drain the fluid that has been accumulated around the testicles. During the surgery, the pathway between the abdomen and the scrotum is sealed so that the fluid will not be able to accumulate again. The surgery is a minor procedure so the patient can be sent home on the same day as the surgery. There is a minute possibility that the hydrocele might come back after the surgery although this rarely happens.
