Patient's question:
I have had a hand float urinary tract infection for a long time and feel very uncomfortable. It is easy to cause labor and back pain with epididymal cysts. What should I pay attention to after the surgery?Doctor's answer:
An epididymal cyst is a cystic mass within the epididymis, most commonly located at the head of the epididymis. If the cyst fluid contains sperm, it is referred to as a spermatocele. Generally, there are no obvious symptoms, but sometimes it may cause testicular swelling or pain. Upon examination, a cystic mass can be felt at the head of the epididymis, and the transillumination test is positive.If there are no symptoms, no treatment is needed. However, if the symptoms are severe or the cyst is large and the patient is unmarried with children, surgery may be performed to remove the cyst. Surgery may damage the epididymal ducts, potentially affecting fertility. Patients should follow a light diet, avoid foods, and refrain from smoking and drinking beer.
