The first step in diagnosing a hydrocele is a physical examination. Shine a flashlight at the swollen area of the scrotum. Because the fluid in a hydrocele is usually clear, the light will show the outline of the testicle and detect excess fluid. USG is often used to confirm the diagnosis of hydrocele and rule out a tumor or other condition. If the area of swelling becomes larger or smaller by applying pressure on the scrotum, it may be inguinal hernia or a communicating hydrocele. If an infection is suspected, blood or urine tests should be done.
