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?

since you mentioned there is no pain or swelling and your baby does not seem to be in any discomfort, i would suggest it is best to wait. more than the procedure itself, your baby will be in discomfort staying at the hospital. in most cases, there is no treatment required if it does not swell or cause pain. in some cases, it also gets cured on its own. your baby's doctor will be the best judge to suggest further course of action. http://www.webmd.com/parenting/baby/tc/hydrocele-topic-overview
