Patient's question:

It has already been three years, without pain, sensation, or any special cause, on the left epididymal head, where a 1.6cm cystic mass is clearly visible inside, with intact capsule. What is going on?

Doctor's answer:

Considering the current recurrence of a left epididymal head cyst.

If discomfort symptoms reappear or the cyst shows a trend of growth, it is advised to seek timely surgical treatment. For patients with epididymal conditions, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications, whereas delayed treatment may affect fertility.
