Patient's question:
The ultrasound revealed bilateral epididymal head cysts and mild varicocele on the left. However, there are no discomforts (normally) in daily life. This was discovered during a thorough premarital examination. The doctor only suggested having children earlier and didn't mention anything else. What should be done about the bilateral epididymal head cysts and mild varicocele on the left?Doctor's answer:
The epididymal head cyst and varicocele are both serious conditions that can affect sperm quality.Advice: It is recommended to undergo further medical examination and semen analysis to assess the quality of sperm. If the sperm quality is affected, surgical removal of the epididymal head cyst and high ligation of the varicocele may be necessary.
The epididymis can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow, and recurrence is common after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used according to symptoms. Additionally, it is advised to maintain a healthy lifestyle and adopt a balanced diet during the treatment period.
