Patient's question:
Doctor, 4 months ago, a color ultrasound showed a small cyst in the left epididymal body. Recently, another color ultrasound revealed multiple small, point-like strong echo spots inside the epididymal cyst. The ultrasound doctor said these were especially small, point-like strong echo spots. I would like to ask what this situation is and if it is serious?Doctor's answer:
The epididymis was carefully examined and showed strong echo irradiation, which may be calcification. It is a scar left after epididymitis inflammation. Without any discomfort symptoms, no treatment is needed. Pay attention to hygiene of the external genitalia, clean regularly, avoid sexual intercourse, do not strike the affected area, stay active, drink plenty of water, and have regular check-ups. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If not treated promptly, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication on time and maintain a regular lifestyle in daily life.
