- After the laser hydrocele procedure, one may expect some discomfort in the testicular area. Medication is provided for the same.
- The scrotum may also be swollen for several weeks post-surgery. This can be reduced by applying an ice pack for the first two days.
- The scrotum must not be soaked in water, in a pool or bathtub for instance, for at least 5 days after surgery.
- A follow up with your laser hydrocele specialist within 3-5 days after the procedure is a good idea.
Preventing injury to the scrotum is the best option for hydrocele prevention. For instance, if you engage in any contact sports, using an athletic cup is helpful.
