Do Epididymal Cysts Grow?
Hello, I have an epididymis cyst which I only noticed on last Saturday. I have had an ultrasound scan and the doctor said that both testicales are completey normal and that I should not worry. I have read that it can grow to a very big size, is there anything you would recommend to help make sure that it won t grow in size because I feel that it is going to bother me in the future and I really do not want to have surgery or whatever procedure is needed to get rid of it.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
There are no particular treatment plans that can be used to prevent further growth.
The main possible preventative measure would be to avoid trauma and infection if possible. Both of these would be associated an increase in size.
I hope this helps
