Patient's question:
I used to be able to clearly feel that my scrotum was a bit cool, but now I've noticed it seems to be swollen. The doctor said it's a seminal vesicle cyst and that it needs to be treated immediately, otherwise it will have a negative impact on future sexual life.Doctor's answer:
Hello, symptomatic seminal vesicle cysts often require surgical treatment. Traditional treatment methods include transrectal cyst aspiration, transurethral seminal vesicle cyst decortications, and seminal vesicle resection, among others. Transrectal cyst aspiration is only used for diagnosis and treatment of recurrent cysts due to its high recurrence rate and risk of infection. Transurethral seminal vesicle cyst decortications are less commonly performed because they are prone to complications such as urinary reflux, postoperative dripping, and infection.
