Anyone have some insight on this? I just got back from an ultrasound and the technician mentioned a cyst on my epididymis—the report calls it a spermatocele. Is that something that actually needs treatment, or can it cause any issues?

I guess I was wondering if that's something people usually treat, or if it could actually cause any issues...

I guess it depends on whether you've been feeling any pain from the swelling? If it isn't hurting at all, then maybe you don't even need to worry about it or touch it... but if it starts bothering you, or if you feel some kind of ache or tension, it can be surgically removed, which isn't really a major procedure or anything... so I wouldn't stress too much about it right now...

It doesn't really hurt, honestly; he just mentioned it's about 5 mm larger. The only time I feel anything is if I go a few days without any release and then get worked up—then my testicle swells up and feels like it’s going to burst. Once I finally ejaculate, the pain usually dies down after about half an hour. I should probably mention, though, that I had a tumor removed from my other testicle about two years ago, so I'm wondering if there might be some connection there.

The only thing is, if I haven't ejaculated for a few days and then get worked up, my testicle swells up and feels like it might burst, at least until I ejaculate—then the pain usually dies down after maybe half an hour or so. I didn't mention earlier that I actually had a tumor removed from my other testicle about two years ago, so I suppose I'm wondering if that might have anything to do with it?

Well, I mean, in the medical world, any kind of growth is usually treated like a tumor until someone proves otherwise, so if you've already seen a urologist and they confirmed it's just a spermatocele, there probably isn't much to worry about... but if it's causing you discomfort, or especially if that pain starts coming back, you should probably go back for another checkup, or even a quick procedure... it's nothing too crazy... basically, just head to the doctor, because there's really no reason to just sit there and deal with the pain!
