Q: testicular ultrasound result found a 2 mm cyst is present within the anterior mid right testes. all other findings were normal. the radiologist recommended a 6-month follow up scan. is this necessary? is the normal? i dont want unnecessary care?

: It is appropriate to do. If the cyst remains the same size. Then nothing to worry about. If it changes, then further work-up is necessary.
