What is the treatment for epididymal cyst?

Epididymal cyst is a common disease in men, which often occurs in young and middle-aged men. Generally speaking, there is no discomfort with this disease. Only a few people will feel a sense of drooping in the scrotum or a little slight pain. Only when the patient's pain reaches a certain level will treatment be required. There are several methods for the treatment of epididymal cyst:

Surgical treatment

Because the operation is minor, the patient does not experience much pain. A small scrotal incision is sufficient to mobilize, separate, and remove the cyst, and the surgical results are often very good. During the operation, the doctor will carefully separate the cyst from the testicle and epididymis, and then remove it completely. Complications of surgical removal of epididymal cysts are mild and rare, including scrotal hematoma, infertility (if the epididymis is removed), and testicular atrophy if the blood supply to the testicle is affected.

Chinese medicine treatment
