A member asked:

I have swelling on left testicle i have had a scan is not cancerous but i have 5 cists is there any easy way to make it better?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need diagnosis first: Who ordered the scan? Did you discuss the results with your doctor? Cysts may be in the epididymus rather than the testis, or you may have varicocele that may look like cysts. It would appear that you need to consult a surgeon.
