Hydrocele natural history, complications and prognosis

Complications that may occur from hydrocele surgery include:

• Blood clots
• Infection
• Injury to the scrotal tissue or structures

Complications that may occur due to aspiration and sclerosing may include:

• Infection
• Fibrosis
• Mild-to-moderate pain in the scrotal area
• Return of the hydrocele

Generally, a simple hydrocele goes away without surgery. If surgery is necessary, it is a simple procedure for a skilled surgeon, and usually has an excellent outcome.
