Hydrocele is an abnormal collection of serous fluid in the tunica vaginalis that results in swelling of the scrotum or groin area. It can be caused by trauma, systemic edema from conditions like heart or kidney disease, or infections from diseases such as gonorrhea, syphilis, or tuberculosis. The main symptoms are a painless swelling of the scrotum, redness, and a feeling of pressure or fullness.
