Scrotal Lump in men: This is most likely a cyst, known as a hydrocele or varicocele. These cysts are fluid filled scar tissue that get irritated at times, especially in men who are aging. The cyst usually resolves on its own without treatment. If the cyst becomes so painful that it is intolerable he needs to be seen by a urologist.
