Epididymal cyst symptoms

Cyst is a very complex disease, which has a great impact on physical health. If you suffer from a cyst, you need to receive timely treatment, otherwise the cyst will pose a great threat to your life, and the treatment of this disease will be very difficult. Many people are not familiar with epididymal cysts. What are the symptoms and signs of epididymal cysts? The following is a detailed introduction so that you can have some understanding.

Epididymal cyst symptoms and signs:

1. Generally, there are no symptoms, but sometimes there is discomfort or a feeling of dropping in the scrotum, and sometimes there is swelling of the scrotum.

2. A round swelling is felt on the testicle or epididymis, which is soft in texture, has a fluctuating feel, has clear boundaries, and does not shrink when squeezed.

3. Positive light transmission test. The cyst puncture fluid is milky white and opaque, and microscopic examination shows inactive sperm, fat bodies, etc. After being placed at room temperature for a short time, the previously inactive sperm in the fluid will become active.

4. Ultrasound can reveal fluid dark areas in the testicles or epididymis.

Diagnostic methods

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.

Hidden Diseases

1. Acute and persistent testicular prolapse and pain: It is more common in orchitis and injury. In addition to blood infection, orchitis is more common when bacteria retrograde through the urethra to the epididymis and testicles, causing epididymitis and orchitis.

2. Chronic and recurrent testicular prolapse and pain: It is more common in prostatitis and varicocele. In chronic cases, the symptoms are milder, so it is not easy to determine the exact location of the inflammation. Testicular swelling and pain are not necessarily proportional to the severity of the inflammation. Some people are very sensitive and mild inflammation can cause severe discomfort; while some people are more delayed and feel that it is mild.

3. Testicular prolapse and pain after sex: This may be due to sexual excitement causing the genitals and gonads to become highly congested. Violent exercise or sex can sometimes cause the levator testis to contract strongly, causing the testicles with an overly long frenulum to twist and cause severe testicular pain. Some pain is caused by varicocele or pain radiating from other parts of the body, such as radiating testicular pain caused by ureteral stones. At this time, the real cause must be carefully identified in order to effectively treat the symptoms.

After recognizing the symptoms and signs of epididymal cysts, patients should actively cooperate in the treatment of epididymal cysts. At the same time, such diseases should be prevented. In normal times, a reasonable diet should be matched, and personal hygiene should be paid attention to after sexual intercourse to avoid the occurrence of such diseases.
