Hydrocele is a medical condition in which fluid accumulates around the testicle leading to swelling of the scrotum. It usually presents itself as a painless mass on one or both sides of the scrotum. In some cases, hydrocele can be caused by an underlying infection such as tuberculosis (TB) or epididymitis which requires more specialized care and treatment.

Therefore, for diagnosis and management of hydrocele it is important to seek help from a Urologist who specializes in male reproductive health and/or urinary tract disorders. A Urologist can accurately diagnose hydrocele with physical examination along with imaging studies such as ultrasound, CT scan or MRI scanning if needed; this doctor will also advise medical treatment options including surgical procedures like laparoscopic excision and sclerotherapy based on individual patient's situation.

In case of infection related hydroceles or associated complications like infertility due to recurring infections, patients may need treatment from other specialties like Infectious Diseases Physician (for detection and management of infections), Reproductive Endocrinologist (for evaluating fertility issues) etc.; collaborative patient-care between multiple specialties often yields better outcomes for patients suffering from complex conditions involving multiple organ systems like hydrocele disease.

Therefore it is recommended that anyone diagnosed with Hydrocele should consult a qualified Urologist alongside other necessary specialists depending on their exact nature and severity of condition for best outcome following evidence based management strategies designed especially for their individual condition; this ensures maximum benefit from available treatments while reducing side effects associated with them at the same time!
