Abstract:
Fifteen patients with primary hydrocele of the testis were treated by aspiration and injection of tetracycline. Only 5 patients (33.3%) were cured by a single injection of tetracycline. Furthermore, 46.6% of our patients experienced severe scrotal pain, three of whom required open surgery. We do not recommend single injection tetracycline therapy, and further injections were not performed due to severe side effects.
