Other hydrocele - what does this mean

Other hydrocele is a type of hydrocele that occurs when fluid accumulates in the scrotum due to an abnormal communication between the peritoneal cavity and the scrotum. this type of hydrocele is usually caused by trauma, infection, or a congenital defect.

What happens during the disease - other hydrocele

Other hydrocele is a condition in which fluid accumulates in the scrotum, resulting in swelling and discomfort. this condition is caused by a variety of factors, including infection, trauma, and abnormal development of the testes. in some cases, the accumulation of fluid is caused by a blockage in the flow of lymphatic fluid, which can be caused by a tumor or other obstruction. in other cases, the accumulation of fluid may be due to an abnormal connection between the abdomen and the scrotum, which can lead to a buildup of pressure and fluid in the scrotum. treatment for other hydrocele typically involves draining the fluid and repairing any underlying structural abnormalities.
