Patient's question:
A week ago, I developed 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, just to rest and recover at home. However, after a week, 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 resolve 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. It can gradually heal on its own. The epididymis can recover, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to 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.
