A member asked:
I have a large spermatocele of the left testicle. (3"x2"). i am 72 years old. at my age i prefer castration over spermatocolectomy (sp?)

Spermatocele: Spermatoceles are benign cystic lesions above the actual testis. Surgical removal would only be advised it is physically uncomfortable due to size or inflamed and painful. Orchiectomy would be a drastic measure unless pain is the biggest issue.
