Is there a risk in testicular cyst surgery?

Patient's question:

These days, I've been feeling a bit of a heavy, bloated sensation in my testicles, not particularly painful, but today I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said there is a testicular cyst and it requires surgery. Here, I would like to consult with medical experts: Is there any risk involved in testicular cyst surgery?

Doctor's answer:

When a testicular cyst is diagnosed, it is necessary to consider the possibility of epididymal tuberculosis, testicular tumors, epididymal tumors, hydrocele, varicocele, and other masses. If the cyst is confirmed to be small and without other symptoms, it can be left untreated. It should frequently occur on the head of the testicle or epididymis. The cyst contains a large amount of sperm and is usually asymptomatic. Sometimes, there may be a feeling of discomfort or bending in the scrotum, or sometimes the scrotum may be swollen. The principle of treatment is that smaller cysts do not require treatment and can be followed up periodically. If the cyst is large and the symptoms are significant, surgical removal of the cyst is necessary. The disease heals quickly.
