Patient's question:
Epididymal cyst 1.1. Can it be treated with aspiration and drainage? I'm afraid of needles and need anesthesia. I've asked the doctor, and some say it doesn't require anesthesia. Can an epididymal cyst be punctured and drained?Doctor's answer:
The condition you mentioned is a hydrocele in the epididymal testicular position, which can be treated through surgery and is stable. It's recommended to avoid greasy, spicy, and cold foods. This condition does not require anesthesia, as it does not significantly affect the outcome. Moreover, it's just a small incision, and anesthesia itself can cause pain, similar to getting a shot. Epididymal cysts can be cured, but the treatment period is generally long, and there is a higher risk of recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it's crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use medication appropriately, and maintain a light diet. Additionally, patients should avoid stimulating foods, smoking, and drinking beer.
