A hydrocele is an accumulation of fluid around the testicle within the tunica vaginalis, causing scrotal swelling. While painless in most cases, large hydroceles cause discomfort, heaviness, and cosmetic concern. Hydroceles in adults do not resolve spontaneously and require surgical drainage (hydrocelectomy) for definitive cure. Aspiration provides temporary relief but fluid reaccumulates in 90% of cases within 6 months.
