Abstract
In conclusion, tetracycline hydrochloride is an effective and safe sclerosant for the treatment of hydrocele with entailing minimal side effects and low recurrence rate. However, it should not be recommended for the treatment of spermatocele in younger men who still wish to have children, because of the danger of drug epididymitis and resulting infertility. Hydrocele treatment can be performed in younger men who still wish to have children.
