Hernia Treatment in Bangalore
Hydrocele Treatment in Bangalore
A hydrocele is a common condition where clear fluid collects around one or both testicles, causing visible swelling in the scrotum. It usually starts without pain but can lead to heaviness or discomfort if left untreated.
At Hari Laser Clinics, we offer laser hydrocele treatment in Bangalore, a simple daycare procedure that drains the fluid and seals the sac permanently. Under the guidance of Dr. Varun Kumar J (MBBS, DNB, FIAGES), patients experience faster healing, minimal scarring, and long-term comfort.
What Is a Hydrocele?
A hydrocele forms when fluid builds up in the thin covering around the testicle (called the tunica vaginalis). It can appear after infection, injury, or inflammation.
In adults, the swelling is soft and painless at first. It may grow larger during the day and reduce when lying down. If ignored, it can become big enough to cause pressure or pain.
Who Is Most at Risk?
Hydroceles can happen to anyone, but certain people are more likely to develop them. Knowing your risk early helps prevent complications.
Older men or those with groin surgery
Past hernia or scrotal surgery can block natural fluid drainage and cause buildup.Men with frequent infections
Repeated infections such as epididymitis can lead to inflammation and swelling.Infants with birth defects
Some babies are born with an open channel between the abdomen and scrotum that lets fluid move down.People with other health issues
Heart, liver, or kidney problems may cause fluid imbalance that leads to hydrocele.
Early medical advice and maintaining hygiene can help reduce risks and ensure healthy recovery.
Types of Hydrocele
Different types of hydrocele need different treatments. Identifying the correct type helps your doctor plan the right hydrocele treatment or laser hydrocelectomy.
Communicating Hydrocele
Fluid passes between the abdomen and scrotum through a small opening. Common in children and usually fixed with minor surgery.Non-Communicating Hydrocele
Fluid stays trapped around the testis without any connection to the abdomen. Common in adults and treated through surgery.Reactive Hydrocele
Occurs due to nearby inflammation or infection. Treating the main cause often helps reduce swelling.Congenital Hydrocele
Present at birth and may go away on its own in infants. Persistent cases need a short surgery.

Causes of Hydrocele
Hydroceles form when fluid fails to drain properly. Several conditions can lead to this problem.
Injury or Trauma
A direct blow to the scrotum can cause leakage and swelling. Quick care reduces long-term issues.Infection (Epididymitis or Orchitis)
Infections cause inflammation that triggers fluid buildup. Early antibiotic treatment prevents recurrence.Post-Surgery Reaction
Sometimes hydrocele forms after hernia or varicocele operations due to disturbed drainage.Blocked Lymph Drainage
When the body cannot reabsorb fluid normally, swelling may persist.Congenital Defect
A natural gap between the abdomen and scrotum that stays open since birth.
Addressing these causes early and improving lifestyle habits helps prevent recurrence.
Symptoms of Hydrocele
Hydroceles are mostly painless but can cause noticeable changes. Recognizing these symptoms helps ensure early treatment.
Soft swelling in one or both testicles
The scrotum looks enlarged, often more during the day.Feeling of heaviness or discomfort
A dragging sensation or tightness may occur while walking or standing.Mild pain or pressure
As swelling increases, the scrotal skin stretches, causing dull ache.Fluid fluctuation
The size changes through the day — smaller in the morning, larger at night.Difficulty wearing tight clothes
The bulge makes fitted trousers or underwear uncomfortable.
If you notice these signs, visit your doctor for laser hydrocele treatment in Bangalore before the swelling worsens.

Treatment Options for Hydrocele in Bangalore
Treatment depends on the type and size of the hydrocele. At Hari Laser Clinics, all options are available under one roof.
A tiny cut is made, fluid is drained, and the sac is sealed with laser energy. The procedure is painless, bloodless, and done under local anesthesia. Most patients return home the same day.
This is used for large or recurrent cases. The surgeon removes or inverts the sac through a small incision. Healing takes about a week.
A needle removes the fluid, and medicine is injected to prevent recurrence. It offers temporary relief if surgery is not possible.
