I want to know whether Hydrocele disease can be cured only by surgery or sucking out the fluid thro' needle or can that requires allopathic medication also before or after surgery. Is there any possiblity of recurrence after surgery if the surgeons makes slightest mistake and is the mistake is quiet common during surgery. This quesion is mainly for medication requirement and surgery mistake possiblity and recurrence. This is only for allopathic treatment related question

When fluid collects in the scrotum, causing it to swell, the condition is called a hydrocele (HIGH-dro-seel). Usually only one side is affected. The condition is more common in young boys, but can also develop in older men. If the swelling doesn't clear up on its own, surgery may be needed.
Causes
Babies are sometimes born with a hydrocele. Teenage boys and older men may get one from an infection or an injury. In younger boys, the problem may result from an inguinal hernia---a protrusion of the abdominal contents into the groin.
Signs/Symptoms
Typically, the scrotum becomes hard, swollen, and bright pink. In babies, the condition is usually painless. Older men may suffer pain in the scrotum and groin, and, if the hydrocele is large, in the lower back.
Care
In babies, most hydroceles disappear during the first year of life. However, if a hernia is the cause, an operation will be necessary. Surgery is also more likely if the condition is causing problems for an older man. While waiting to see whether the hydrocele disappears on its own, the doctor will want to see you every 3 to 6 months.
WHAT YOU SHOULD DO
Continue your normal activities and eat healthy foods.
Wearing a scrotal support (athletic supporter) and using ice may help the scrotal swelling. Put the ice in a plastic bag and cover it with a towel. Use the ice pack for 15 to 20 minutes out of every hour as long as you think you need it. Do not sleep on the ice pack.

There is no medical treatment for hydrocele.Sucking fluid out will lead to refilling. Surgey is the only treatment. After surgery, the surgeon may give an antibiotic to prevent infection. In an adult, hydrocele is treated by everting the sac. In a child, the sac is ligated, as in a hernia. It is usually a safe and simple procedure. There is a slight risk of human error in every procedure.
