Patient's question:
Over the past two months, I've been experiencing discomfort in my groin area, a bloated and painful sensation, especially in the testicles. They are severely red and swollen, and when touched, there is a palpable lump that is painful to squeeze. Accompanying symptoms include frequent urination and urgency, a decrease in libido, and a loss of appetite. I've looked up information online, and it all suggests it might be a testicular cyst. What kind of help do I need: Which department should I go to for a testicular cyst?Doctor's answer:
A testicular cyst is one of the common and easily occurring diseases in men. It is more common in middle-aged and elderly individuals aged 50-60. The cyst is usually painless or causes mild pain, sometimes accompanied by a heavy feeling in the scrotum. It contains sperm and testicular tissue and is often located near the epididymis or positioned on the upper back of the testicle. If the cyst is not large, it generally does not lead to complications and often does not require treatment.
