Dr. Karen Gorton of Honor Society of Nursing (STTI) answered:

A hydrocele is the fluid filled sac surrounding the testicle that results in swelling of the scrotum. It is common in newborns and occurs during development of the baby.

In older people, this can develop from inflammation or injury to the scrotum.
