A hydrocele which refers to fluid collection in the scrotum usually around the testis or anywhere along the line of descent of the testis. A hydrocele (usually if noticed from birth is essentially harmless) and may resolve on its own. If it persists till he is about a year old, a Daycase surgery would suffice. So no cause for alarm.

An inguinal or inguiniscrotal hernia. in a child needs earlier intervention., however, a minor Daycase surgery is still what is done.
