The study was conducted on three hundreds and forty-five cases of bilateral hydrocele, who were operated by Jaboulay's technique. Out of these 345 cases only 12 cases fell truly within the definition of primary infertility. The azoospermia was found only in three cases and oligospermia in two cases. In seven cases, the true nature of infertility could not be found even after the thorough investigations of the spouses. Taking into account the incidence of infertility in general male population without any obvious hydrocele we conclude that bilateral hydrocele has no effect on male fertility.
