Question 1

i have noticed thickening of my spermatic cord on left side for past 2-3 days with very mild pain on pressing. ?

Accepted Answer

Get evaluated.: A common problem that can present as a change in character of the spermatic cord or a bulge in the groin is an inguinal hernia. This can sometimes be tender. Engorgement or enlargement of the veins, called a varicocele,  can appear this way as well. And rarely, lipomas or tumor like masses can arise in the spermatic cord. A full workup with a good physical exam will help determine the cause.

Question 4

how can the spermatic cord get twisted in the first place?

Accepted Answer

Here are some ...: " spermatic cord" would refer to the site along inguinal region. If so, such testicular twist occurs on its way of natural descent due to lack of fixation so it's extravaginal and almost exclusively in antenatal / neonatal period with incomplete testicular descent. Clinically, we see testicular twisting more commonly in teenagers around their puberty/adolescence, around age 12-18, but maybe in any

Question 9

does lipoma on the spermatic cord cause pain? if so what are the symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Usually asymptomatic: Lipomas of spermatic cord are quite common, especially in males with a high BMI. Not symptomatic unless there is an inguinal herenia in addition &amp; symptoms would be from hernia rather than lipoma

Question 10

can wear or tear of spermatic cord be seen on ultrasound? and is it attached to the eppidydimal?

Accepted Answer

Here are some...: Most of scrotal US would not contribute much to diagnosing what is inside the sac but serve high demand of political correctness and commercialism; instead, a good history-taking + physical exam should be enough to reach right Dx and right Rx for most. To your Q, no wear or tear may occur unlike blood vessel. Most US can show epididymis/testis, not vas deferens. More? Ask urologist...
