Left testicle has a cyst, do I need surgery? Very urgent

Patient's question:

The left testicle has a cyst. It was checked at West China Hospital, and both color Doppler ultrasound and CT scans were performed. It was said that surgery is needed to remove it. Will it affect fertility and future sexual function?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, you have a left testicular cyst. This is a urological disease. Generally, testicular cysts are more common in this age group, and there are also simple cysts. Surgical treatment is required, and the surgery does not affect future fertility or sexual function.
It is recommended that you undergo early surgical treatment. The surgery is a simple cyst excision, not testicular removal. If the testicle is removed, it would affect fertility, and that is not the approach. Only the cyst is simply excised. Postoperatively, anti-inflammatory and wound care treatment is required, and you can be discharged after 7 days of suture removal, fully recovered.
