Hydrocele Treatment Without Surgery

Ayurvedic treatment is one of the best options for treating hydrocele. There are four medicines widely used to treat hydrocele, namely:

2. Erand is an antioxidant medicine that helps to relieve symptoms.
3. Kanchanar is a very widely prescribed medicine to treat pain and inflammation (swelling) of the scrotum.
4. With its pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory properties, Varun is the best-chosen medicine to prevent the fluid from getting infected.

Homoeopathic treatment is widely preferred by many as it is 100% natural. It offers effective treatments for various diseases. Listed below are the types of hydrocele and the homoeopathic drugs used to treat them:

1. Hydroceles present in babies since birth – Pulsatilla, Rhododendron and Abrotanum
2. Right-sided hydroceles – Rhododendron and Clematis
3. Sharp burning pain in hydroceles – Nux Vomica, Clematis and Berberis Vulgaris
4. Hydroceles due to injury/trauma – Corneum and Arnica

Home remedies are the most preferred form of treatment for a less complicated form of hydrocele. They help to reduce pain and uneasiness to a great extent. Some of the home remedies are as follows:

1. Beverages:
   1. Black tea relieves pain and swelling in the hydrocele.
   2. Fresh juices are another excellent beverage option to help keep you hydrated and relieve pain and itching. Fresh juice made with gooseberry (Amla) and aloe vera in equal proportion is one of the best options to alleviate itching and soreness.
2. Topical medication:
   1. Topical application of a herbal paste made up of black pepper (kali mirchi) and cumin (jeera) paste is very effective in reducing swelling and pain. It is one of the oldest home remedies used in India.

To prepare a sitz bath, fill a tub with warm water, add two teaspoons of Epsom salt, and then sit in the tub for 15-20 minutes thrice a week or every other day to drain the fluid of the hydrocele. This procedure also improves blood circulation in that area.
