Epididymal tumor

What is epididymal cyst tumor? Epididymal cyst tumor is one of the common tumors nowadays. The main group of patients is men. If you have this disease, it is not only difficult to treat, but also very painful for the patients. Therefore, it is very important to understand this disease and take timely prevention measures, which also needs to be taken seriously.

Most epididymal cyst tumors are primary, and very few are secondary. Secondary epididymal cyst tumors can be immediate invasion of seminal flexure, male testis and tunica vaginalis tumors, reverse migration of prostate cancer, or external spread of malignant tumors. Primary well-attached tumors account for about 4/5 of epididymal cyst tumors, and primary malignant tumors account for about 1/5 of epididymal cyst tumors. The clinical symptoms of epididymal cyst tumors are:

1. Pain in the scrotum often occurs suddenly and can radiate along the spermatic curve to the inguinal groove and lumbosacral region. The pain is generally severe, with obvious tenderness and reluctance to press. The swelling progresses rapidly and can double the volume of the epididymal cyst within 3 to 4 hours. The body temperature reaches around 40°C and secretions appear in the urethral orifice. This may be accompanied by cystitis and turbid urine.

2. Clinical symptoms include tenderness in the groin, enlarged scrotum, and red and itchy skin. If a cyst is formed, the skin will become dry and soft and easy to fall off. The cyst may also rupture spontaneously. If medical treatment is sought promptly, the boundary between the swollen and hardened epididymal cyst and the testicle is clear. However, after several hours, the testicle and epididymal cyst will become a hard lump. The seminal tract will become larger and thicker due to edema, and secondary hydrocele will appear after a few days. There will be secretions in the urethra. Prostate palpation can detect subacute or chronic prostatitis. In acute symptoms, it is forbidden to massage the prostate.

3. Laboratory examination of epididymal cyst tumors shows that the peripheral blood leukocyte count reaches (2~3) periodontal 109/l. Urethral secretions can be examined with or without staining. Urinalysis is also a key examination method.
