Suggest A Non Surgical Treatment For Hydrocele

Hi, Iwas found with hydrcell three yrs ago. I was adviced by a doctor for an operation. But, when I met another doctor he adviced me if not in hurry I can suspend the operation. That is why it took me up to now. my fear is that it seems to be growing yearly. I am 56 yrs. old, hight 6.85cm, wgt 68-70kg. My question is there a treatment other than the operation? what is the effect of the hydrocell, to my sexual life? May I know the couse ? Thank u.
