Patient Question
Hello Doctor,
How can I tell if I have hydrocele or testicular cancer? The symptoms sound so similar.
Answered by Dr. Abdelmajeed Saad
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
Hydrocele is a painless swelling due to fluid around the testicle and often resolves on its own, while testicular cancer is characterized by a painless lump or swelling with additional symptoms like pain or discomfort. If you notice changes, consult a doctor for a diagnosis through physical exams and ultrasound.
Thanks
