Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling constant pain in my lower abdomen, so I went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said I have an epididymal cyst, but it's not very serious. He mentioned that with active cooperation in treatment, it can be cured. I always feel like the doctor is just trying to reassure me. Can an epididymal cyst be cured?Doctor's answer:
An epididymal cyst most commonly recurs at the head of the epididymis, also known as a seminal cyst. The cause may be related to sexual stimulation, chronic inflammatory reactions, or various reasons that prevent sperm from being expelled smoothly. For this condition with no obvious symptoms or mild symptoms, treatment is generally not required. If the cyst is large and the symptoms are severe, surgical treatment should be considered. Medication is generally ineffective. However, surgery is generally not suitable for men with fertility advice.
