What Are The Symptoms Of A Spermatocele?

Hello Dr, It s always something....I believe I have a spermatocele. 2 on the left testicle and 1 on the right. A few months back I had asked my brother and is informed me that he had a sona gram and that is how he determined he has one as well. All 3 of these are outside of the testicle. I can kind of trap them and see their formation. Once is a while they are a bit bothersome, but as a rule they are not. I spoke to me family Dr. and kind of agreed. He said testicular cancer usually happens in younger me. I am 64.Your thoughts please. Many thanks,Jeff

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Epididymal cyst near testis is a spermatocele and it is a painless lesion.It is a fluid-filled cyst that lies above and behind each testicle.The fluid in the cyst may contain sperm that are no longer alive.
Epididymal cysts are generally asymptomatic and small cyst usually doesn't require any treatment.It requires treatment only when it cause pain or there is increase in size.
Fever may be due to some other reasons.
You need proper clinical examination and investigations.
You need investigations like routine hemogram ,Liver function test,Renal function test,blood culture,Chest X-ray (PA view),Ultrasound of abdomen.Further investigations can be done if needed.It is important to maintain a chart for your fever,it can give some clue about probable cause.
Proper treatment depend upon clinical findings and investigation reports.
