Understanding Hematocele: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment Options

Hematocele is a collection of blood within the tunica vaginalis, the membrane that covers the testicle. It is a type of scrotal mass and can be caused by various conditions such as trauma, infection, or tumors.

Symptoms of hematocele may include:

* A visible lump or swelling in the scrotum
* Pain or tenderness in the scrotum
* Redness or bruising of the skin
* Fever or chills
* Difficulty urinating or painful urination

Treatment of hematocele depends on the underlying cause and may involve antibiotics for infection, surgical drainage of the blood collection, or removal of a tumor. It is important to seek medical attention if you suspect that you have a hematocele, as it can be a sign of a more serious condition.
