Hydocele surgery in past
Posted , 3 users are following.
Had it done back in 2012 and after taking up bike riding, it appears to have fully returned. Is it worth it to try again? Maybe a different surgeon?

Similar situation with me. My new one is slower filling than the first so I am just going to try draining it and see how long I can get by on that. Wish I had a better alternative. I f you find one, please post it. Good Luck

I plan on calling them and finding out if it was removed or just drained.

If you had the surgery you would have known it. You would have been put under anathesia in an outpatient procedure, laid up, unable to work, for 2-4 weeks, in some degree of pain, changing dressings etc. Stitches in your balls are not hard to miss. 😃
If it was just a drain you were back to work next day. If it took 7 years to return after just a drain, that is good to hear from my perspective. I will take that over another ineffective surgery and its attendant risk of infections anytime. I suggest reading some of the other postings here & google articles to get educated on the problem and remedies. So far, no one who had a draining but you has indicated how long their draining worked before the problem returned to its previous dimensions. Thanks

Surgery it was then, but I feel it returned within 3 years , maybe 4. Not sure if the starting of bicycle riding might have been the cause, but I never could figure out how it came about in the first place.
