Explanation

Bilateral hydroceles refers to a medical condition where there is a buildup of fluid around both testicles. This can cause the scrotum or groin area to swell, making it look larger than normal. It's usually not painful, but it can cause discomfort due to the increased size of the scrotum. This condition is most common in newborns and usually resolves on its own, but it can also occur in adult men due to inflammation or injury.
