...Spermatocele is a retention cyst of a tubule of the rete testis or the head of the epididymis distended with a milky fluid that contains spermatozoa. Spermatoceles are the most common cystic condition encountered within the scrotum. They vary in size from several millimeters to many centimeters. Spermatoceles are generally not painful. However, some men may experience discomfort from larger spermatoceles. Read full entry

How is it treated? Spermatoceles are not usually dangerous and are treated only when they cause pain or embarrassment or when they decrease the blood supply to the penis (rare). Treatment is not usually needed if a spermatocele does not change in size or gets smaller as the body reabsorbs the fluid. If the spermatocele gets larger or causes discomfort, a procedure to remove the spermatocele (spermatocelectomy) may be needed. An ultrasound may be used to confirm the diagnosis of a spermatocele. |

What should I do about small I went to the hospital the
other day because I had an
intolerable pain in my left
teste. Turns out I have
varicolele and an epididymal
cyst in my left teste. The
pain is killing me and I am
not sure what else to do. The
doctor just said to rest and
take Motrin, but it is a sharp
pain constantly. Help!

Varicoceles and epididymal cysts are not uncommon, and usually without symptoms. Conservative care - Motrin and time - is the first therapy if they start causing pain. Sometimes an icepack to the area can help, and wearing gently supportive underwear (i.e., briefs, not boxers) eases some of the pain. If it keeps up for more than a week - ouch - you probably need to see a Urologist. The link below talks in detail about more advanced treatment. |
