Hello,

Thanks for the query.

The description of your lesions, seem to indicate the presence of a cyst either in the spermatic cord or the Epididimis.

Since the lesion is painful at present and has probably increased in size, the best approach would be to do an Ultrasound of the testicles, to get a clear anatomical idea.

This will help to diagnose the cyst.

The next step would be consult an urologist or a surgeon who can then either do a excision of the cyst or a Aspiration of the fluid inside the cyst to help reduce the size.

For proper diagnosis, a physical look at the lesions is very helpful.

Since a physical examination is not possible online, it would help if you can provide images of the lesions in question.

You can upload images of the lesions in the right side of the query box, which after going through would help me in suggesting you better.

Please do confirm by writing here about the uploading of the photo as to suggest you at the earliest.

If you have problems in uploading images, please mail them to YYYY@YYYY with special attention to Dr. Deepak as the subject.

I would like to provide you with specific suggestions after going through the photo.

Awaiting your response.
