Patient's question:
I am 24 years old, married, and have just been diagnosed with a left epididymal head cyst, approximately 4.7mm x 2.5mm. Now, there is a slight sensation of heaviness on the left side, but it is painless. How should this condition be treated? Will it affect future fertility? Will this cyst resolve on its own?Doctor's answer:
Currently less than one centimeter, although there are mild symptoms of drooping, further treatment is not recommended. Focus on careful observation and undergo a color Doppler ultrasound examination once a year. It will definitely not affect fertility, but self-treatment should be avoided. The epididymis can recover, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use medication appropriately, and avoid prolonged sitting or riding. Additionally, patients should pay attention to personal hygiene.
