How to differentiate a hydrocele from a hernia?

Hydrocele

Answer

A hydrocele is a sac of fluid, while a hernia involves tissue pushing through a weak spot in the muscle. A doctor can usually tell the difference with a physical exam, sometimes using a light to see through the scrotum or ordering an ultrasound. For an accurate diagnosis, visit our experts at SCI Hospital.
