Abstract

 Introduction: Hydroceles may differ in size but most of the cases are asymptomatic. Acquired hydroceles are usually developed gradually and are not that much alarming. Larger hydroceles may result in chronic pain in the scrotum or lower back and can cause injury to the scrotal contents such as the testicle. Methodology: The patients who presented in the OPD with a swelling in the scrotum were identified and following inclusion and exclusion criteria applied. All men with primary vaginal hydrocele with no signs of hernia or other scrotal disease will be selected. A total of 60 patients were selected for the study. Results: The youngest patient was 11 years of age while the oldest patient is 75 years of age. Maximum number of cases was seen in 20 - 29 years age group followed by that in 30-39 year age group while minimum no of cases were seen in 70 - 79 years age group. Conclusion: In this study almost equal number of cases were seen in most of the occupations. This indicates that hydrocele does not have any predilection for a particular occupation.
