Patient's question:
I usually sit down for work, doing more than 8 hours a day. Recently, I feel there is a hard lump in the epididymis. What should I do if there is a hard lump in the epididymis without pain but with discomfort?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, the preliminary consideration is that it may be a hydrocele of the epididymis. Generally, it will never affect sexual dysfunction. However, as the epididymal cyst gradually decreases in size, it may lead to a sense of heaviness and discomfort, and affect the quality of semen, among other possibilities. It is recommended that you visit a regular hospital for relevant tests and symptomatic treatment. The epididymis can be relieved, but the treatment cycle is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with your doctor's medication plan. Additionally, during the treatment period, it is advised to adopt a healthy lifestyle and maintain a proper diet.
