Patient's question:
I am 27 years old. Last night while taking a shower, I noticed that my testicles felt a bit swollen. I thought I might have a fever when I got up early, and it became worse in the afternoon. I went to the hospital for a check-up and was told that I have orchitis. I am really very worried. Could you please tell me how to treat bilateral epididymal head cysts of 5mm x 5mm?Doctor's answer:
Bilateral epididymal head cysts are common and may cause discomfort. As you described, the size is not large, so it should not cause symptoms and can be observed while waiting. Epididymal cysts are often formed by embryonic remnants that do not disappear due to atrophy. If there are no symptoms, no treatment is needed. If there is discomfort, surgery can be performed to resolve the issue. Epididymal conditions can be serious, so it is recommended that patients seek timely symptomatic treatment and follow the doctor's advice. At the same time, it is important to pay attention to self-care, maintain a proper diet, and avoid worsening the condition.
