General & Family Physician 's  Response
Neither hydrocele nor masturbation causes hyperthyroidism. Hyperthyroidism is most commonly caused by Grave’s disease. Other causes are also there. Masturbation does not cause any tumor. It is totally normal process. Excess masturbation may cause anxiety, testicular injury and sometimes testicular torsion, an emergency surgical condition, after vigorous masturbation. Sometimes vigorous manipulation of penis as in masturbation causes mechanical injury to testes leading to testicular pain. Excess of anything is wrong.
Hyperthyroidism is treated by methimazole/carbimazole, radioactive iodine and propranolol. Treatment depends upon symptoms, level of serum T4 and cause of hyperthyroidism. Treatment should be monitored under specialist doctor (endocrinologist)
Advice
1.     Consult an endocrinologist for exact diagnosis and management
