Patient's question:
How can I prevent the epididymal head cyst from getting bigger? It is currently about 7mm in size. Although there are no symptoms, occasional touch may cause some pain, but it always bothers me. Online says that surgery is the only way to treat it, but I'm only 22 and don't want to have surgery before conception. How can I prevent the cyst from getting bigger?Doctor's answer:
If a testicular cyst is larger than one centimeter or accompanied by pain, swelling in the testicle, it is necessary to seek surgical treatment as soon as possible. If the cyst is relatively small, it is advisable to have a careful examination every two months. If the cyst is larger, targeted treatment is required. It is recommended to go to a regular hospital and consult a specialist doctor for a detailed examination. Based on the examination results and your personal condition, follow the doctor's advice to choose a treatment plan, and pay attention to your diet. The epididymis can be resolved, but the treatment process is generally slow, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan.
