Had left hydrocele op done in june under a local..So so glad i did it, What a huge weight off my mind..had spent two years thinking the worst :[..Great surgeon put me at ease op lasted 45mins had lords procedure..A bit sore and bruised afterwards but back on my feet next day.....One word of warning !!! on operating tables you have a very large mirror above you to enhance the light..DO NOT LOOK IN IT(as i did] As you will see things a man should never see :)..The surgeon will remove your testicles from your scrotum for examination( I looked up and saw my exposed testicles in the surgeons hands..somewhat unnerving..yet painless)...On the plus side this examination is recorded and upon discharge same day you receive a piece of paper saying TESTICLES NORMAL..And those two words make you want to jump with joy...Go for it :)

I am to undergoe a 'LORD'S PROCEDURE',for a left side Hydrocele in October. It appears to be connected with the Hernia, which was repaired for the second time a few months ago. I wonder if it is worth all the discomfort that the various comments mention. It not life threatening, only mildly uncomfortable and mainly a nuisamce. I am 74, but in good health.

Thank you for posting! My dad is 73 and we're going tomorrow to get his hydrocele looked at. He had 2 hernia surgeries back in July and now this. He's feeling pretty low, but I keep trying to find stories from people his age who have had it done and feel better. :]

The Doctor has recommended the removal of the one testicle explaining that there is a lot LESS post op pain, no swelling, less risk of infection vs performing the Hydrocele surgery-Removal does not impact sex, or prevent sex however concerned because the most common procedure appears to be the Jaboulay procedure which sounds like lots of pain, bruising and swelling-Why go through that if recovery is less for the removal of the testicle-Age 68 great health! Any one out there getting this recommendation for hydrocele?

Astonished the doctor wishes to remove a perfectly healthy testicle, I had Lords with Jaboulay and as i stated in a previous post the post op pain isn't really significant and is eased with painkillers and a warm bath. Yes there is some swelling but after three days i was back at work feeling fine..I think we are guilty on these discussions of painting a more severe picture of the minor op than it really is...have the op but keep the testicle would be my advice...all the best

Im a 19yr old male that just had a hydrocele ectomy. My Dr. placed a drain tube in the incision that will be removed friday. Other than slight pain and discomfort the recovery isnt awful as of so far. My only real issue is I cant eat or drink so far. Keeping liquids down is nearly impossible as of right now. Any tips on how to get over the nausea? Also when a hydrocele ruptures is there alot of pain involved? I had increase of pain and swelling a few weeks back, im just curious if that was caused by the rupture.
