I'm really worried because my doctor told me to take Ivermectol 12 mg every 4 days for my hydrocele, but I haven't seen any results yet. Should I be concerned that it's not working, or might there be something else I should try?

Ivermectol 12mg is typically used to treat parasitic infections, not hydrocele.

Hydrocele Treatment

Needle aspiration: A procedure where a needle is inserted to drain the fluid.

Surgery (hydrocelectomy): A surgical procedure to remove the hydrocele sac.

Ivermectol for Hydrocele

Using Ivermectol for hydrocele treatment is unconventional and may not be effective. Ivermectol is an antiparasitic medication, and hydrocele is a condition characterized by fluid accumulation in the scrotum.

Recommendations

Consult a urologist: Schedule an appointment with a urologist to discuss alternative treatment options.

Re-evaluate treatment: Consider needle aspiration or surgery, which are more effective treatments for hydrocele.

Stop Ivermectol: Discontinue taking Ivermectol, as it may not be addressing the underlying condition.
