Hernia is more common than Hydrocele at this age. If the swelling reduces on its own on lying down then it is Hernia. Though treatment for both is surgery, it's important to know the cause of hydrocele (common is trauma).
Next Steps
a surgeon's opinion and ultrasound of inguinoscrotal region is essential.
Health Tips
use SCROTAL support on day to day basis both before as well as after the surgery
