Description swelling in scrotum

A hydrocoele is a painless, fluid-filled swelling in the scrotum, most commonly caused by the accumulation of serous fluid around the testicle within the tunica vaginalis. Definition and Types Hydrocoeles can be categorized into two main types: Communicating hydrocoele: Results from an open connection between the abdominal cavity and the scrotum, usually due to failure of closure of the processus vaginalis during fetal development. Non-communicating hydrocoele: Fluid accumulates due to an imbalance in production and absorption within the tunica vaginalis, often with no apparent connection to the abdomen.
