Patient's question:
I had my right epididymis removed a year ago, and my right waist has been sore. What's going on? Originally, I noticed that my right testicle was swollen and had a hard lump. The doctor said it was epididymitis. I received a lot of fluids for many days, but it didn't improve. How should I take care of myself six months after having my right epididymis removed?Doctor's answer:
An epididymal cyst is a cystic structure. It presents as a painless or slightly painful lump in the scrotum, sometimes accompanied by a sensation of heaviness. Small epididymal cysts containing sperm and fluid are generally not a significant health concern. However, complications arising from epididymal cysts require timely medical intervention. Surgery is often performed to quickly mobilize, fuse, and remove the cyst, which is highly effective. Epididymal conditions can be recurrent, necessitating long-term medication treatment. For male patients, it is essential to actively seek diagnosis at professional and reputable hospitals. Treatment should be considered based on thorough examination results, and sexual activity should be restricted. Maintaining a positive mood is also important.
