What is the usual treatment for epididymal cysts that become harder during sexual intercourse?

Patient's question:

I am 28 years old, and I have had a high fever for 2 days. I am also very afraid of cold. At first, I thought it was just a cold, but then I noticed that my testicles were getting more and more painful, and when I touched them, it felt like there was water inside. I went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with orchitis.
Question: How can I treat an epididymal cyst that becomes harder during sexual intercourse?

Doctor's answer:

An epididymal cyst can only be surgically treated after conception. Semen has a lime water or poppy seed flavor. If there is suspicion of abnormal semen, it can be checked at the hospital for routine semen analysis. If the routine semen analysis is abnormal, further tests such as color Doppler ultrasound of the testes, epididymis, and spermatic cord veins should be conducted. Problems with the development of these gonads can lead to abnormal semen analysis. It is necessary to check as soon as possible. Generally, diabetes and sexual intercourse most commonly cause abnormal semen flavor. For severe epididymal cyst patients, it is recommended to seek medical attention early and follow the doctor's advice for early treatment. Avoid using medication blindly to prevent worsening the condition.
