Yoga Exercise For Hydrocele Problem

Let’s understand what hydrocele testis is, before we look at yoga postures to help this problem.

Hydrocele:

Hydrocele testis happens when clear fluid accumulates in the tunica vaginalis, the internal membranes that house the testicle. While, a primary hydrocele is painless and just enlarges one side of the scrotum; a secondary hydrocele is generally an inflammation in the testis. Hydrocele usually happens on one side. Hydrocele may happen to infants too.

Symptoms:

A hydrocele is smooth and generally occurs in the front of the testes. A fluid filled ball, hydroceles are most of the times harmless and also painless. If a hydrocele is large, then it can cause discomfort.

Treatment:

A hydrocele is generally removed through surgery. Known as hydrocelectomy, the procedure involves excising the tunica vaginalis, draining the fluid and then suturing the edges of the tunica, so that the fluid doesn’t accumulate again. In some cases, the fluid is aspirated, though there are chances of recurrence.
