Usually, the only indication of a hydrocele is a painless swelling of one or both testicles.
Adult men with a hydrocele might experience discomfort from the heaviness of a swollen scrotum. Pain generally increases due to size & inflammation.

Treatment
Males of any age, it's important for a doctor to evaluate a hydrocele because it can be associated with an underlying testicular condition.
The surgery to remove a hydrocele (hydrocelectomy) can be done under general or regional anesthesia. An incision is made in the scrotum or lower abdomen to remove the hydrocele. If a hydrocele is found during surgery to repair an inguinal hernia, the surgeon might remove the hydrocele even if it's causing no discomfort.
After hydrocelectomy, you might need a tube to drain fluid and a bulky dressing for a few days. Your doctor is likely to recommend a follow-up exam because a hydrocele might recur.
See your doctor if you experience a scrotal swelling. It's important to rule out other causes of the swelling that might require treatment.

Proper clinical examination and Ultrasonogram of scrotum-venous Doppler.
