Hydrocele (Water Hernia), Spermatocele: Or something else? Differential Diagnosis

Cardiovascular System (I00-I99).

  • Varicocele (synonyms: varicocele testis; varicocele hernia) – varicose vein formation in the area of the pampiniform plexus, a plexus of veins in the spermatic cord formed by the testicular and epididymal veins; in a high percentage (75-90%), varicocele occurs on the left side.Indication for surgery: varicocelectomy when a reduced testis is present in addition to the varicocele. The threshold is a testicular atrophy index (TAI) of 20%, which means that one testicle is 20% smaller than the other; another factor is a volume difference of at least 2 ml between the two testicles.

Mouth, esophagus (food pipe), stomach, and intestines (K00-K67; K90-K93).

Neoplasms – tumor diseases (C00-D48)

Genitourinary system (kidneys, urinary tract – reproductive organs) (N00-N99).

  • Hematocele (blood hernia) – accumulation of blood in the scrotum.

Injuries, poisonings and other consequences of external causes (S00-T98).
