Forty three randomly selected patients of scrotal hydrocele were investigated for alterations in functions of the testes. FSH and LH levels were raised in 50 and 75 per cent of patients respectively whereas testosterone level was found subnormal in 14 of the 28 patients in whom hormone profile was studied. LH and FSH levels also showed some relation with duration and size of the hydrocele. Similarly, sperm concentration and their motility was found affected by the duration of the disease.
