What are the symptoms of an epididymal cyst?

Patient's question:

Once you get an epididymal cyst, does the testicle become hard? Are there cases where the testicle is still soft despite having an epididymal cyst? If the testicle becomes hard, can't you notice it yourself? Just touch it and you'll know, right? What are the symptoms of an epididymal cyst?

Doctor's answer:

Epididymitis is clinically characterized by the following symptoms:
1. Symptoms Epididymitis often recurs after heavy physical labor, such as lifting heavy objects, or after intense sexual arousal.
2. Signs There is tenderness in the groin area, shrinkage of the scrotum, local skin redness and swelling. If an abscess forms, the skin may appear dry, thin, and easily peeling. Prostate examination may reveal acute or chronic prostatitis. During acute phases, prostate massage should be avoided. For patients with epididymal cysts, timely treatment can reduce recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health.
