Epididymal cyst and varicocele: What should be done?

Patient's question:

Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:
Go for a testicular exam and found epididymitis, varicocele of the testicular cord. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Consider it as an inguinal, which is generally caused by congenital undescended testicles. In cases where conservative treatment is ineffective, surgical intervention is usually required. The surgery typically does not damage the spermatic cord, so it will not affect the boy's fertility afterward. Epididymal cysts can be stable, but the treatment period is usually long, and recurrence is common after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene.
