Speak to Urologist or Surgeon who performed procedure.
First thing is that both your testicles are an always the same size, and one will sit in front of the other so you can walk without being bowlegged (that was meant to be a joke but real). Having a hydrocele drained is not going to change the effectiveness and or productivity of that particular testicle. If it does he still have another functional one. It would not be something I’ve any great concern other than to make sure that urologist keeps an eye on it so there is no malignant transformations far down the road as you get older. Which is very slim to make sure you’re aware. I wish you well, thank you for asking me for your question.

Be well
