Infected hydrocele - what does this mean
Infected hydrocele occurs when bacteria enter the scrotum and cause an infection in the fluid-filled sac that surrounds the testicle, leading to swelling, redness, and pain. it can be caused by an untreated sexually transmitted infection, an injury to the scrotum, or a blockage in the sperm ducts.
What happens during the disease - infected hydrocele
Infected hydrocele is a condition caused by a bacterial infection of the fluid-filled sac surrounding the testicle. the infection is usually caused by a bacterial strain known as staphylococcus aureus, which can enter the scrotum through a cut or scrape on the skin. the bacteria then multiply within the sac, resulting in inflammation, swelling, and pain. in some cases, the infection can spread to the testicle itself, leading to further complications.
