What causes testicular cysts?

The occurrence of testicular cysts needs to be taken seriously by male friends, because many reproductive diseases may cause testosterone cysts. For common diseases such as orchitis, testicular torsion or scrotal cysts, it is recommended to pay more attention to the health of the reproductive parts in life.

1. Orchitis: Orchitis often causes swelling of one or both testicles, so you should go to the doctor. If diagnosed, the doctor will prescribe painkillers to relieve the pain.

2. Testicular torsion: When testicular torsion occurs, the patient will find a painful lump around one or both testicles. This disease can occur at any time and may be accompanied by nausea and vomiting.

3. Cysts: Cysts can form in the scrotum. They can grow very large without causing any discomfort, but you should still ask your doctor to check for tumors. Men of any age may develop cysts, and the disease is most common in men over 40 years old.

4. Scrotal hydrocele: This is a clear and thin fluid that accumulates between the inner and outer coverings of the testicles, which can cause swelling. If the swelling is large or painful, you may need to use a needle to draw out the fluid under local anesthesia. If it recurs, a minor surgery may be required to treat it.

5. Internal testicular injury: Injury to the inside of both testicles may be the cause of testicular swelling. This may require hospitalization and, if necessary, surgical treatment.

6. Epididymitis: The epididymis is located around the posterior edge of the testicle, where sperm is temporarily stored after production. Epididymitis is mostly caused by bacterial infection of the urinary tract that has not healed, causing the bacteria to enter the epididymis through the lumen of the vas deferens.

7. Epididymal tuberculosis: Also known as tuberculous epididymitis, it is the most common male genital tuberculosis. It is generally believed that epididymal tuberculosis is a part of urinary tuberculosis. Epididymal tuberculosis is often accompanied by prostate tuberculosis or seminal vesicle tuberculosis. Tuberculosis bacteria usually spread from the kidney to the prostate, seminal vesicle, and then to the epididymis. Some cases are also caused by blood infection.
