Patient's question:
A week ago, I had an epididymal head cyst due to an injury. I went to the hospital for a color ultrasound, and the doctor said it was nothing serious and that I just needed to rest and recover at home. However, it has been a week now, and although it has shrunk, it hasn't fully healed yet. How long will it take to recover? Do I need to take medication?Doctor's answer:
Generally, epididymal cysts caused by external trauma can gradually subside on their own. In this case, medication is not necessary; allowing it to naturally scar is sufficient. It can be completely restored within a few months. Surgery is generally not required. The epididymis can recover, but the treatment period is usually long, and there is a high risk of recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use medication appropriately, and also adopt a healthy lifestyle during the treatment period.
