Question: I’m suffering from hydrocele since last 7 years. What are some home home remedies for hydrocele?
Answer:
Hydrocele is the most common cause for scrotal enlargement. It represents the accumulation of serous fluid within the tunica vaginalis (a layer of the scrotum).
Causes of Hydrocele
- Idiopathic or no known cause
- In response to neighboring infections
- Trauma
- Lifting or straining too much
- Excessive sex
Invariably, this condition is asymptomatic – it presents as a painless, smooth, swelling of the scrotum.
In some cases, when the swelling is too large, it could cause discomfort or pain.
What are your symptoms of hydrocele?
Is there discomfort? Pain?
How large is the swelling?
Are you into weight training and?
Did you ever have tuberculosis or any local infection?
Examination of the swelling is essential.
Treatment for Hydrocele
- The presence of hydrocele does not pose any threat or danger, especially if symptom-less. If there is any form of discomfort, that, needs to be managed.
- Avoid excessive straining, like too much weight lifting at the gym or otherwise.
- Treat a recurrent or chronic cough immediately. Coughing raises the intra-abdominal pressure and puts a strain.
- Also, you ought to check the tendency of constipation. Constipation causes one to strain at stool, which again increases the intra-abdominal pressure.
- Care needs to be taken to prevent hernia.
- Suspensory bandages are useful.
- Avoid all refined foods, tinned/canned/ processed foods.
- Quit smoking and drinking.
- Cold hip baths are of singular value in the management of hydrocele.
- Use an ordinary bath tub. Fill it with water. Lower your body into the tub and stay for about 15minutes, twice daily.
- Tapping is the surgical method resorted to, for the removal of the fluid from the sac. It may be required in obstinate cases, especially, if there is too much pain or super added infection. Homoeopathic medicine bryonia is of special worth, since it absorbs most of the serous fluid.
- Light firming exercises should be undertaken to improve the muscle and tissue tone.

My Hydrocele is almost 15 years old.The problem was created while cycling -it stuck in my left testicle and later slowly started swelling. Recently ultrasound examination was carried out and the report found Both testes are of normal size and with smooth contour. The right testis measures about 4.1 cm and 2.4 cm in antero -posterior diameter whereas the left about 4.2 cm and 2.9 cm.
In the left scrotum: Moderate -sized left hydrocele is noted surrounding the left testis except its posterior part, which attaches to the tunica vaginalis posteriorly. The hydrocele consists of anechoic fluid collection between the parietal and visceral layers of the tunica vaginalis. Now I have pain in left one and being harder, also lower back pain. Can you advice me how can solve my problem?
Hydrocele, I too have a hydrocele (for about 2 years) on my left testicular. Heavy lifting and exercise is said to be one of the possible causes of them and might be the cause of mine. However, I don’t know how this is associated with increased fluid build-up only? I clearly understand how a hernia (rupture) can occur with too much strain but how is exercise and heavy lifting associated with increased fluid-build up? If somebody does know, could you please reply? Thanks, Rob

Hydrocele is generally a painless swelling to one, or both sides of the scrotum. It is a build up of fluid produced by tissue within the scrotum and is harmless. If you have hydrocele it is always best to see a medical professional as it can be a symptom of a more serious condition. Check your testis for any lumps and if the pain continues see your Doctor.
Since the problem of hydrocele is long standing in your case, it is very difficult to reduce with natural home remedies. However, you can try cold hip baths both times in a day. Also try with warm Epsom bath. If you are constipated try to eat more vegetables and fiber food so that bowel movements are smooth and easy, you may not have to strain a lot. Try this regimen for few months. If all your efforts fail, the last option left is surgery.
