by pooja sangani on Jul 26, 2025

Hydrocele is a condition where fluid accumulates in the scrotum, leading to swelling and discomfort. Although it's generally not painful, it can cause physical unease and emotional distress for many men. If you're exploring natural ways to manage or reduce hydrocele symptoms, Ayurveda offers a time-tested remedy — Patanjali Divya Vriddhivadhika Vati.
Rooted in centuries-old herbal wisdom, this Ayurvedic formulation is known for its ability to balance the doshas and support the health of the male reproductive system. In this blog, we explore hydrocele from an Ayurvedic perspective and how Divya Vriddhivadhika Vati may help in relieving its symptoms naturally.
What is Hydrocele?
Hydrocele occurs when fluid builds up in the thin sheath surrounding the testicles, leading to swelling of the scrotum. It is more common in newborns but can also affect adult males, particularly due to injury, inflammation, or infections.
Common Symptoms of Hydrocele:
- Scrotal swelling (usually painless)
- Heaviness in the testicles
- Discomfort during walking or physical activity
- Visible fluid accumulation (in some cases)
Ayurvedic Perspective on Hydrocele
In Ayurveda, hydrocele can be correlated with a condition called “Antra Vriddhi” or “Vridhi Roga.” It is often caused by an imbalance of the Kapha and Vata doshas, leading to fluid retention, swelling, and poor lymphatic drainage.
Ayurvedic treatment focuses on:
- Reducing inflammation
- Improving lymphatic and digestive function
- Restoring dosha balance
- Strengthening the reproductive system
Introducing Patanjali Divya Vriddhivadhika Vati
Divya Vriddhivadhika Vati is an Ayurvedic formulation developed by Patanjali Ayurved, aimed at supporting conditions like hydrocele, hernia, and other glandular swellings. The product is made from a blend of powerful herbs known for their anti-inflammatory, detoxifying, and rejuvenating properties.
Key Ingredients:
- Haritaki (Terminalia chebula): A powerful detoxifier and digestive stimulant
- Bibhitaki (Terminalia bellirica): Supports the lymphatic system and reduces Kapha
- Amalaki (Emblica officinalis): Rich in Vitamin C; boosts tissue healing
- Shuddha Guggulu: Anti-inflammatory and fat-burning herb
- Kanchanar (Bauhinia variegata): Known for treating swollen glands and cystic growth

Benefits of Divya Vriddhivadhika Vati for Hydrocele
1. Reduces Scrotal Swelling
The ingredients work synergistically to drain excess fluid, reduce swelling, and improve lymphatic movement in the scrotal area.
2. Strengthens Reproductive Organs
It helps in toning and revitalizing the male reproductive system, thereby reducing the chances of further complications.
3. Anti-Inflammatory Action
Herbs like guggulu and kanchanar help in calming inflammation, reducing pain and discomfort associated with hydrocele.
4. Balances Kapha & Vata Doshas

5. Improves Digestion & Detox
Many ingredients enhance digestive fire (Agni) and help in removing Ama (toxins) from the body, which indirectly supports better fluid balance.
