How is a hydrocele diagnosed?
Your son's doctor will likely notice that his scrotum is swollen. Often, the testicle can't be felt because of the fluid surrounding it.
A hydrocele can then be easily diagnosed by shining a light through the scrotum. If the scrotum is full of fluid, it will light up. The doctor may want to perform an ultrasound to confirm the diagnosis.
