What is testicular cyst?

Many male friends will encounter genital problems, which poses a certain threat to men's health. Therefore, when male friends find that there are problems with their genitals, they must go to the hospital for examination in time. Don't delay it because of face. This will only make the disease worse. Some men will have testicular cysts, so what is testicular cysts?

Testicular cysts need to be differentiated from chronic epididymitis, hydrocele and Yong syndrome to avoid misdiagnosis.

1. Chronic epididymitis: Generally, the entire epididymis is enlarged or only a small nodule is present at the tail, which is hard in texture and sometimes the thickened vas deferens can be touched.

2. Hydrocele: It is a cystic mass in the scrotum, which is oval or fusiform and located in the spermatic cord.

3. Yong syndrome: The bilateral epididymis are enlarged or cystic, mostly limited to the proximal 1 to 1.5 cm of the epididymis, with no abnormalities in the body and tail and vas deferens. However, this disease is azoospermia caused by chronic respiratory tract infection and combined with progressive obstruction of the bilateral epididymis.

Generally, testicular cysts do not require treatment, but surgical removal can be used if necessary.

1. Smaller cysts do not require treatment and can be observed at regular follow-up visits.

2. After puncture and aspiration, inject anhydrous ethanol or other hardening agents.

3. Surgical removal of the cyst is suitable for those with large cysts and obvious symptoms. Testicular cysts can form in the scrotum. They can grow very large without causing any discomfort, but you should still ask a doctor to check if you have it. Cysts can occur at any age, and this disease is most common in men over 40 years old.

Testicular cysts are benign testicular tumors. Testicular tumors include germ cell tumors and non-germ cell tumors. The former is more common, mainly including seminoma, embryonal tumor, etc. Testicular tumors generally develop faster, metastasize earlier, and are more malignant. Examination of the testicles shows that the surface is smooth, hard and heavy, inelastic, and the tumor is negative in the light transmission test. B-ultrasound examination is the first choice. It mainly metastasizes through the lymph nodes and blood. Surgery is generally used for treatment.

The above is some introduction about what testicular cysts are. If male friends also have testicular cysts, they must go to the hospital for treatment. This is the only way to control the development of the disease in time, ensure the patient's health, avoid further deterioration of the disease, strive to cure the testicular cysts as soon as possible, and restore a healthy body.
