Epididymal cysts, also known medically as spermatoceles or scrotal cysts, are fluid-filled sacs that develop near the testicle, specifically on the epididymis. These benign scrotal lumps are typically non-cancerous but may cause concern due to discomfort or visible scrotal swelling. At Curis Life – a multispecialty clinic in Andheri West, we offer precise diagnosis and compassionate care from expert urologists who specialize in male reproductive system disorders.
What is an Epididymal Cyst?
An epididymal cyst, often referred to as a spermatocele, is a painless, benign cyst located in the epididymis — a small, coiled tube located at the back of the testicle responsible for storing and transporting sperm. This scrotal fluid-filled sac may contain a clear or milky fluid that might also carry sperm, commonly called a semen storage cyst.
Symptoms of Epididymal Cyst
- Painless scrotal swelling
- Noticeable lump on the testicle
- Heaviness in the scrotum
- Mild discomfort in one or both testicles
- Possible tenderness if cyst becomes large
Causes of Epididymal Cyst
While the exact causes are still under research, several contributing factors include:
- Blockage in the ducts of the epididymis
- Trauma or injury to the testicles
- Inflammation or infection
- Genetic predisposition
Diagnosis and Expert Evaluation
At Curis Life in Andheri West, our urology consultation includes a thorough physical examination followed by diagnostic imaging:
- Testicular Ultrasound: This safe and non-invasive imaging technique helps differentiate a spermatocele from other conditions like testicular mass, hydrocele, or testicular cancer.
- Urine and blood tests may be recommended if infection is suspected.
Is Epididymal Cyst Dangerous?
Most epididymal cysts are harmless and non-cancerous. However, patients often worry about their symptoms being similar to testicular cancer. That’s why timely evaluation is essential. Unlike cancer, these cysts are fluid-filled and soft in consistency.
When Should You Seek Treatment?
While some cysts may go unnoticed and require no intervention, you should consult a urologist if you experience:
- Persistent discomfort or pain
- Rapid increase in size of the lump
- Concerns about fertility or appearance
