Patient's question:
Left testicle has a cyst. I had it checked at West China Hospital, and both color Doppler ultrasound and CT scans were performed. They said surgery is needed to remove it. Will this 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.I suggest 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. It is just a simple cyst excision. After the surgery, you will need anti-inflammatory and wound care treatment. You can be discharged after 7 days of suture removal and recover completely.
