Patient's question:
I currently have a burning sensation in my scrotum, and there is a 0.5 cm testicular cyst. Do I need treatment? If surgical treatment is performed, will it interfere with testicular function? A few days ago, I applied a hot towel to my scrotum for three hours, and now I have difficulty urinating. What should I do? Did I scald my testicles? Does it interfere with sperm production? Are there any measures to compensate? For example, taking medication or intravenous fluids?Doctor's answer:
Testicular cysts often recur on the head of the testicle or in the epididymis. The cysts contain a large amount of sperm and are medically referred to as spermatic cysts. Testicular cysts, also known as spermatic cysts, are often large in size with mild or no pain. Sometimes, if the cyst becomes excessively large, it may cause testicular pain, prompting the patient to seek medical attention. Generally, testicular cysts do not require treatment, but surgical removal may be performed if necessary.1. Smaller cysts do not require treatment and can be monitored periodically with careful observation.
