A hydrocele (pronounced hydroseal) denotes a pathological accumulation of serous fluid in a bodily cavity. A hydrocele testis is the accumulation of fluids around a testicle, and is fairly common, but should be treated surgically. This is due to fluid secreted from a remnant piece of peritoneum wrapped around the testis in the tunica vaginalis. It can also be as a result of cancer, trauma or orchitis. The older method for removing the fluid was to use a needle to suck it out. However, because of the high risk of infection and because the fluid often returns, a more permanent approach is necessary. An incision is made, and the testicle sac is taken out (it's still attached, but removed), and all the fluid is taken out. It's considered an out-patient surgery. It should be noted that the condition is not painful, but may be distracting as the scrotum swells to about lemon size. The condition does not interfere with sex.

Saw a picture Sat. of a guy with a testicular-abdomino hydrocele, which extends into the abdomen. Today, I'm wondering why my stomach hurts.

#2 son had surgery today to remove a hydrocele. He and his testicle appear to have survived the experience, thankfully.
