Patient's question:
A few days ago, I carefully checked and found that I had a testicular cyst. These past few days have made me feel particularly worried, fearing it might affect fertility. So, does a testicular cyst affect fertility?Doctor's answer:
A testicular cyst is also known as a seminal cyst. Generally, if the condition is mild, treatment is not required. It will never affect fertility, and a testicular cyst will never destroy the testicles or impair the ability of the epididymis to store sperm. However, if the condition is severe, it may lead to an increase in male sexual function, even complete loss of sexual function, cause dead sperm, azoospermia, loss of fertility, and transmit inflammatory bacteria to close relatives, potentially causing gynecological diseases.
