The first indication of a hydrocele is a painless swelling or enlargement of the scrotum, representing a fluid collection around one or both testicles. Babies rarely have complications from a hydrocele and the vast majority disappear before the age of one without treatment. In contrast, men with hydroceles may eventually experience discomfort as the scrotum swells and gets heavy. It can create difficulty sitting or walking / running in extreme cases. Pain or discomfort from a hydrocele is generally correlated to its size the bigger it gets, the more likely you'll feel it. Hydroceles tend to be smaller in the morning (upon waking) and then get more swollen as the day progresses. Straining may cause certain hydrocele's to increase in size. Babies born prematurely have a greater risk of having hydroceles. In the vast majority of cases among baby boys, teenagers and men, hydroceles go away on their own without any specific treatment. The blockage or congestion near the testicle(s) resolves itself and the hydrocele drains and gets absorbed into the body. Thus, if you notice an enlarged scrotum and it's not painful or causing problems with urination or during sex, give it some time to resolve itself. For baby boys, hydroceles usually fade away on their own within one year of being born. For men, hydroceles often gradually disappear within six months, depending on the cause. Larger ones may take more time, but shouldn't go beyond one year without medical intervention. However, in children and adolescents hydroceles can be caused by infection, trauma, testicular torsion or tumor, so these conditions must be excluded by examination from a doctor. Hydroceles are similar to fluid-filled ganglions that form in tendon sheaths near joints and then gradually disappear. If you notice a painless swelling in your testicle(s)/scrotum, take a very warm bath with at least a few cups of Epsom salt added. Relax in the tub for between 15 20 minutes with your legs slightly spread, so that the water engulfs your scrotum. The warmth of the water can stimulate the movement of body fluids (it may help unblock a blockage) and the salt can pull fluid out through your skin and reduce swelling. Epsom salt is also a rich source of magnesium, which helps to relax muscles / tendons and soothe any tenderness. If there is pain associated with your hydrocele, then exposing your scrotum to warm water (or any source of heat) may create more inflammation and make your symptoms worse. Don't make the bath too hot (to prevent scalding) and don't sit in the tub for too long (to prevent dehydration). The cause of hydroceles is unknown in baby boys, although it's thought to be a backup of fluid from poor circulation due to the baby's position in the womb. In older boys and men, however, the cause is usually related to trauma to the scrotum or an infection. Trauma can occur from wrestling, martial arts, cycling and various sexual activities. Infections in the testes/scrotum are often related to sexually transmitted diseases; therefore, protect your scrotum from trauma and practice safe sex. If you play contact sports, always wear an athletic supporter with a plastic cup to protect your scrotum from injury. Always use a new condom when having sex in order to significantly reduce your risk of infection. STDs don't always infect the testicles, but it's not uncommon either. You should seek medical attention for your baby boy if his swollen scrotum doesn't disappear after a year, or it continues to get larger. Men should see their doctor if a hydrocele persists for more than six months, or it gets big enough to cause pain/discomfort or disfigurement. A testicular infection is not the same as a hydrocele, but it can cause one secondarily. Testicular infections are very painful and should be treated because they increase your risk of infertility. Always seek medical treatment if you experience scrotal swelling and fever. It's also time to see your doctor if the hydrocele is affecting the way you run, walk or sit. Hydroceles don't impact fertility.

Summary: Recognize the signs and symptoms. Be patient with a hydrocele. Try an Epsom salt bath. Avoid trauma to the testes and STDs. Know when to seek medical treatment.

Soak what ever meat you are going to cook on the grill in cola. An hour or two would be nice but even for a few minutes will be beneficial. Cook low and slow. During the cooking process often moisten the meat by brushing or spraying on cola. A delicious coating will build up over time. Marinate whole chicken or chicken wings in cola for 3 to 4 hours along with salt and pepper. You can poke holes into the chicken flesh with a skewer, to allow the cola to penetrate it more easily.

You can use geese to hatch their own eggs, but doing so can be expensive and difficult since geese do not lay while sitting on their eggs. Muscovy ducks provide the ideal conditions. Turkeys and chicken hens can work well, too. Natural incubation is believed to produce the best results overall, but if you cannot use natural incubation, artificial means will also work. Make sure that the hens you use are already broody. In other words, they need to have laid enough eggs of their own for their natural instincts to kick in and demand a period of brooding. For a Muscovy duck, place six to eight eggs underneath her. For a chicken hen, you can only fit about four to six eggs. If you do use a goose to hatch her own eggs, you can place 10 to 15 eggs under her. If using ducks or chicken hens, the eggs will be too large for the birds to turn naturally. You'll need to turn the eggs by hand on a daily basis. Wait until the bird leaves the nest to eat and drink. After 15 days, sprinkle the eggs with lukewarm water when you turn them. After the tenth day, pass the eggs under a bright light to look inside. Infertile eggs should be discarded and fertile eggs should be returned to the nest. Incubation can take 28 to 35 days, and hatching can take as long as three days. Keep the conditions of the nest clean throughout this entire period and continue turning the eggs each day during the entire process.
Summary: Use Muscovy ducks, when possible. Lay the eggs under the bird. Turn the eggs by hand. Candle the eggs. Wait until the eggs hatch.
