We visited the Jacksonville Zoo with our four children (ages 6-13) and had a very nice time. The zoo is small enough to enjoy in a partial day which we prefer as we'd rather not leave exhausted. We also took advantage of our reciprocal membership (from our home zoo) and received discounted admission.
A hydrocele is a collection of fluid surrounding the testicle. It is located within the outer layer of the testicle called the tunica vaginalis. Hydroceles can also develop due to inflammation or injury within the scrotum. These sometimes resolve over a few months but many remain and require medical attention.
Usually, the only indication of a hydrocele is a painless swelling of one or both testicles. Adult men with a hydrocele might experience discomfort from the heaviness of a swollen scrotum. Pain generally increases with the size of the inflammation. Sometimes, the swollen area might be smaller in the morning and larger later in the day.
