My little baby boy is one year old and suffering from hydrocele. There is no pain in this and swelling does not increase. When should I take him to operate because doctor said for minor surgery? At which age it would be good for him ? Should I go for his operation just after one year or should I wait to recover by itself ? because doctor also confirmed that may after two or three years it become normal but they are not sure they basically refer for surgery what should I do?

Hey, First of all, do not worry. Hydrocele is an easily treatable problem. Plus they are most common in babies, and also disappear on their own. You need to worry only if it pains and swelling increases, which is not in the case of your baby. I suggest take an opinion of another doctor whether surgery is really required or not. Please go through the links below, hope it will help you. http://www.healthline.com/health/hydrocele#Overview1 http://patient.info/in/health/hydrocele-in-children
