A member asked:
My epididymus on one side is about the size of a chickpea. there does not seem to have been a change in years. is that size normal or unusual?

Epididymis: The symptoms described can occur for a variety of reasons. One possibility is that of a spermatocele which is a benign finding that should not raise alarm. However, you should have it examined by your doctor to ensure it is not something more concerning.
