Patient's question:
Dr. Sun, I would like to ask if an epididymal cyst interferes with sperm quality or sperm vitality? I have a left epididymal cyst, and I am 30 years old. I have been married for three years and have been trying to have a child, but it hasn't happened yet. I went to the hospital for a check-up and found that my sperm vitality is very low. Is it because of the epididymal cyst? Please explain in detail. Does an epididymal cyst affect sperm quality or sperm vitality?Doctor's answer:
It might be a cyst. A cyst is a benign disease, and the basic medication is generally meaningless, with surgical removal being the primary treatment. It is recommended to maintain a light diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and drink plenty of water. For patients with epididymal cysts, timely treatment can reduce the incidence. If not treated promptly, it may affect health. Therefore, patients should seek timely treatment according to their symptoms and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene.
