Best in Class Hydrocele Treatment in Bhubaneswar

Diagnosis

The doctors at Pristyn Care are well trained in using modern medical tools to conduct a thorough diagnosis while taking care of the patient’s comfort. The doctor may ask about your medical history, symptoms you are suffering from, and any trauma if happened in the abdomen area. The doctor would use the following tests to identify the severity of hydrocele:

• Lab test- Urine sample will be taken for the lab test to detect the infection in the testicular region, if any.
• Transillumination test- The doctor will shine a bright light against the scrotum to identify the abnormality in the area.
• Physical Examination: To check the tenderness and swelling, the doctor may put slight pressure on the abdomen and scrotum to identify the underlying cause.

Procedure

Open hydrocelectomy– This is a surgical procedure that is usually performed under the influence of general anesthesia. During this procedure, the surgeon makes a cut in the scrotum or groin area and drains out the fluid via suction. The surgeon then closes the communication to the canal between the abdominal cavity and the scrotum, before removing the hydrocele sac and closing the incisions with sutures or surgical strips.

Needle Aspiration– This technique is performed by inserting a needle in the scrotum while applying the suction to pull out the hydrocele. The doctor will try to extract as much fluid as possible from the sac. However, this procedure gives temporary relief but has higher chances of recurrence.
