Can epididymal cysts become cancerous?

When men have epididymal cysts, the cysts can compress the urethra of men and cause urination problems, such as difficulty holding urine, urinary pain, difficulty urinating, and thin urine stream. In severe cases, it can harm men's health. Therefore, if you have epididymal cysts, you must seek medical treatment immediately. So, will epididymal cysts become diseased? The following will give a detailed introduction to this matter.

Epididymal cyst is a benign disease, so it is not easy to cause disease, so there is no need to be afraid. If the cyst is small, it usually does not need to be treated. If it increases in size or causes unpleasant discomfort, surgical treatment can be considered. Of course, it is necessary to consider whether the patient is pregnant and whether surgical treatment will cause complications such as obstructive azoospermia. The surgical treatment is very simple and does not take long. If the cyst is located in a part of the cyst, cystectomy can be performed. If the cyst spreads to the entire epididymal cyst, epididymal cystectomy is required.

Epididymal cysts are common in men's diseases and urology. With the increase of age, the incidence rate increases. It is very common for men over 40 to have epididymal cysts. Epididymal cysts can be caused by the following conditions: residual tissue at the embryonic stage complicated by cysts, and the feces are reactive fluid; partial blockage of the epididymal duct or vas deferens, resulting in obstruction of the discharge of epididymal duct fluid and sperm, resulting in cysts, the contents of which are sperm; cysts after epididymitis.

This disease generally has no symptoms, and patients usually discover it inadvertently while taking a shower. If there are symptoms such as pain, a large enlargement of the scrotum, redness of the scrotal skin, and weakness on the penis, it may be inflammation. Epididymal cysts have a more serious impact on men who have not given birth. If an epididymal cyst occurs on one side, it will not cause azoospermia. If it occurs on both sides, or occurs on one side and the spermatogenesis function of the other side is problematic, it may cause azoospermia.
