Question 4

why on one testicle i can feel epididymis structure/ head on top very prominently then the other testicle one ?? its head start point feel like a ball sorts and i do have an spermatocele cyst on the same epididymis so is it due to that ???

Accepted Answer

: Have you ever had a sexually transmitted disease like gonorrhea or chlamydia?  Either way, you may have had a mild case of epididymitis on that one side. I have found that men keep worrying about testicular lumps,irregularities&amp; tenderness and are never totally reassured until they consult a urologist for advice.

Accepted Answer

No: These are anatomical anomalies, of no clinical significance.  You can leave them alone.

Question 8

general surgen told me there is a risk i could lose my testical when he does my spermatocele and cyst removal surgery. is this true?

Accepted Answer

He's the surgeon.: You should ask him. This would not be common, but your details may be different.

Question 9

could a testicular cyst (spermatocele) have an affect on testosterone production?

Accepted Answer

Doubtful: Testosterone production controlled by pituitary via lh. Sperm production controlled by pituitary via fsh. However, varicocele may increase local temperature such that sperm may not be viable. If concerned about hypogonadism or andropause, check lh, fsh & testosterone (total & free) along w/prolactin. Also check estradiol, too, as too much can negate benefit of t.

Question 10

i have cyst/spermatocele in both testicle (about 2.5mm). no pain. can masturbation make it worse?

Accepted Answer

Varicocele: A varicocele is a swelling in the veins leading to your testicles. Any forceful pressure, from inside (straining) or outside (squeezing) can make a varicocele worse. Talk to your urologist about your specific situation.
