What Does A Cyst Near The Testicles Indicate?
we just found out that my fiance has a cyst in the right side of his ball sack. it causes a lot of discomfort for him. he had an ultrasound on it, it looked completely black. the ultrasound tech said that its not attached to the testical. my question is with it looking completely black in the ultrasound does that mean it has fluid in it? do all cysts have fluid in them? is this kind of cyst hereditary?

Hello
Thanks for query .
Any balloon like mass is termed as cyst and by default it is filled with clear fluid and looks black on ultrasound scanning .
The cyst which your boyfriend has been detected to have is called Epididymal Cyst and it is always benign in nature .It is not hereditary and does not require any treatment except pain killer as and when necessary.
