What to do with spermatic cord cyst?

The male reproductive organs are composed of the seminal vesicle, testicles, penis, prostate, etc. Each organ is irreplaceable and has its own unique function. For example, the seminal vesicle is an organ that stores semen, while the testicle is an organ that produces semen. There is a channel between the seminal vesicle and the testicle, called the spermatic cord, which is the channel for sperm to enter the seminal vesicle and then be discharged through the penis. Once the spermatic cord has disease symptoms, such as tightening cysts, it will hinder the transportation of sperm. The phenomenon of spermatic cord cysts is generally related to genetic factors. Let's take a look at the explanation of what to do with spermatic cord cysts.

Causes of spermatic cord cyst:

The causes of spermatic cord cysts are generally believed to be related to excessive sexual stimulation, acute or chronic inflammation or injury of the testicles and epididymis, or sexually transmitted diseases.

Symptoms of spermatic cord cyst:

1. A small amount of effusion may cause no symptoms. If the effusion is large, there may be discomfort caused by scrotal prolapse, or urination and sexual dysfunction.

2. If it is a communicating hydrocele, the size of the mass may change with changes in body position.

3. For cystic masses in the scrotum, the transillumination test is (+). If the tunica vaginalis is thickened, the transillumination test is (-).

4. Spermatic hydrocele is generally small in size and located above the testicles.

5. Hydrocele of the testicle. If there is a lot of fluid accumulation, the testicles are often not palpable.

6. Communicating hydrocele: the size of the cyst may change with changes in body position.

Treatment of spermatic cord cyst:

Children are generally prone to spermatic cord cysts. They do not need treatment within three months, because some children can absorb it by themselves between six months and one year old, and they can just be observed. If it still cannot be absorbed after one year old, treatment is required, which can be surgical. If there is not much fluid accumulation and the tension is not high, surgery can also be performed when the cyst is slightly larger. There is no need for you to consider other things for indirect hernia and hydrocele, as they are both processus vaginalis deformities, and the surgical methods are basically the same. If the child is weak or does not want surgery, you can use hernia patches and hernia belts for treatment, which is effective.
