Hydrocele: accumulation of fluid in the testes, pain may denote the area has become infected.
Since an apparent root cause is a toxic condition of the system (resulting possibly from wrong dietary habits), a series of castor oil packs over the entire abdomen (not just the liver) is recommended: 4 days of 2 hour-packs, 3 days no treatment - repeat.
Also, castor oil mixed with organic whole milk (3.5%) can be used as a purgative initially. For consideration: a raw fruit diet (no bananas) for several days with lemon-juice and water taken.
Cool hip bathes, twice daily, for 10 minutes each are helpful and a hot Epsom-salt bath twice weekly. Loose clothing to be worn.
Draining excess fluid is one method. However this does not remove the trouble, only its effects. The underlying toxicity must be addressed for the condition not to reoccur. During this time, an effort must be made to improve the overall health of the individual: fresh air, moderate exercise, emphasis on raw diet. Strain and habits with a tendency to lower the tone of the body should be avoided.
Topically, hydroceles can be cleared by using the mullein-lobelia combination as a fomentation over the penis and testicle area six nights a week until improvement noticed.
Also, YOGA is by far the simplest consideration.
Vajrasana, (or the Thunderbolt pose) benefits many ailments that originate or involve the pelvic area. Be sure to use Variation II when practising this pose for full therapeutic effect. Testicular swelling and hydrocele are two conditions treated in this way.
