This is usually very concentrated alcohol. Sometimes a second treatment is needed. […] If large then surgery is probably the best option. This has a small risk of recurrence (10%). […] For a hydrocele the sac around the testes is trimmed away. The fluid is still made from the testes side but this is now free to be absorbed by the scrotal tissues.

Usually when an epididymal cyst reoccurs it is because a new cyst has grown bigger. […] There are many treatments for varicocoeles. The basic idea is to block off the vein. This can be done by either an x-ray doctor blocking off the vein, this is called embolization, or by a surgeon tieing off the vein. This can be done via a laparoscope or by a small open cut.
