Physical Examination
- During a physical exam, the scrotum is usually found to be swollen but not tender. Often, the testicle cannot be felt because of the surrounding fluid. The size of the fluid-filled sack can sometimes be increased and decreased by pressure to the abdomen or the scrotum.
- If the size of the fluid collection varies, it is more likely to be associated with an inguinal hernia.
- Hydroceles can be easily demonstrated by shining a flashlight (transillumination) through the enlarged portion of the scrotum. If the scrotum is full of clear fluid, as in a hydrocele, the scrotum will light up.
