Epididymal Cyst Treatment in Bangalore | Genesiss Multi-Speciality Hospital

An epididymal cyst is a fluid-filled, non-cancerous swelling that develops in the epididymis, the coiled tube located behind the testicle that stores and transports sperm. Although usually harmless, larger cysts may cause scrotal swelling, heaviness, or discomfort. At Genesiss Multi-Speciality Hospital, epididymal cyst treatment focuses on accurate diagnosis, symptom-based management, and safe surgical care when required.

What Is an Epididymal Cyst?

An epididymal cyst is a benign sac filled with clear fluid arising from the epididymis. It can occur on one or both sides and is often detected incidentally during self-examination or routine check-ups.

Key Features:

  • Usually painless and slow-growing
  • Common in adult and middle-aged men
  • Does not turn cancerous
  • Generally does not affect fertility

Most epididymal cysts require no active treatment unless symptomatic.

When Is Epididymal Cyst Treatment Required?

Treatment is considered when:

  • The cyst increases in size
  • Persistent pain or scrotal heaviness occurs
  • Discomfort affects daily activities or physical work
  • Anxiety or concern due to swelling persists
  • Infection or complications are suspected

Small, painless cysts are often managed with observation only.

Symptoms of Epididymal Cyst

Symptom Description
Painless scrotal lump Most common presentation
Heaviness in testicle Feeling of dragging or fullness
Mild discomfort Especially while walking or standing
Gradual swelling Increases slowly over time

⚠️ Sudden severe pain usually indicates another condition (such as torsion or infection) and needs urgent evaluation.

Common Causes of Epididymal Cyst

Cause Explanation
Blocked epididymal ducts Fluid accumulation within tubes
Previous inflammation Past infection or irritation
Age-related changes Common with increasing age
Idiopathic causes Many cases have no identifiable cause

How Doctors Diagnose Epididymal Cyst

Diagnosis typically includes:

  • Physical examination of the scrotum
  • Scrotal ultrasound to confirm cystic nature
  • Differentiation from testicular tumors or solid lumps
  • Assessment of cyst size and location

Ultrasound is safe, painless, and highly accurate.

What Happens After Epididymal Cyst Treatment?

After treatment:

  • Pain and heaviness reduce
  • Scrotal swelling settles gradually
  • Normal activities resume as advised
  • Follow-up confirms complete recovery

Recovery After Epididymal Cyst Surgery

Recovery is usually uncomplicated:

Recovery Aspect Details

Physical activity Gradual resumption as advised
Follow-up Ensures proper healing

When Should You Consult a Urologist?

Consult a urologist if you notice:

  • Any new scrotal lump
  • Increase in size of existing swelling
  • Persistent pain or discomfort
  • Anxiety regarding testicular health

Early evaluation helps rule out serious conditions and provides reassurance.
