Hydrocele

I don’t know the answer to your question but there seem to be a lot of guys with similar stories. I am about 16 days post op with my left ball about the same size as it was pre-op - the size of a closed fist.  No pain before and no significant discomfort after.  I had no significant post op swelling but after the drain was removed and the hole closed a couple days later, it swelled to its current size. 

Did they install a drain during surgery? It seems a lot of guys report no drain at surgery which I think leads to issues. What does your doctor say?

I don’t see my doctor for another 4 weeks. Hope that the swelling will be subsiding by then.  While I wait, I would love to know what yours thinks is going on in your case.

Sorry to hear it came back. I had mine done April 2nd and he took out over a liter of fluid, my hydrocele was from a vasectomy not trauma. I blew up to the size of a basketball about 4 days after and that lasted almost 10 days. It went down to about the size of a softball for about 3 weeks and still zero pain just pressure from all the weight. I have some adema left on the left side where the hydrocele was but I see it dissolving as does my Dr. The adema on the right side has fully dissolved. I'm happy with mine but was very nervous that first 2 weeks. My Dr took the leaking tube, cut a bit off and recouterized it then he looped it into the stitches so it can never leak again. He and I have done the flashlight test and nothing lights up, have you tried that? Maybe ultrasound wrong, crossing fingers? Good luck hope it goes away cause I know if mine ever comes back I'm never going thru that again. It's either drain it every few months or take them
