Five things you need to know about testicular cysts

Advertisements

A cyst is a fluid-filled cyst that may occur in the testis. Most may be benign. In order to eliminate any abnormalities, you may need to contact your doctor. He should let you know if they really cause infertility and other health problems. For example, sperm cysts, also known as seminal vesicles, are typically painless, non-cancerous cysts that grow in the epididymis near the top of the testis. These testicular cysts are smooth, filled with milky white or transparent fluid containing sperm. You may want to keep an eye on them to see if they are stable in size or grow. If the pain increases or causes pain, you may need appropriate treatment.
