Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, myself is kumar and i am 27 years old, a small lump appeared on my right testicles in the sroutum, i am feeling very embarrased to consult any doctor so i thought this is better, so please can u suuggest me with any aid. and one important thing is i did not get hurt by any means.
Hi Mr.Kumar, Thanks for writing to HCM. I understand your concern. Based on your description, the lump what you are stating to have noticed in the scrotum appears to be 'epididymal cyst' (spermatocele). It is a painless, fluid-filled cyst in the long, tightly coiled tube that lies above and behind each testicle called epididymis. However, you need to undergo scrotal examination by consulting Surgeon and ultrasound scan of scrotum to confirm the diagnosis. Spermatoceles are not usually dangerous and are treated only when they cause pain or embarrassment. Treatment is not usually needed if a spermatocele does not change in size or gets smaller as the body reabsorbs the fluid. If the spermatocele gets larger or causes discomfort, a procedure to remove the spermatocele called 'spermatocelectomy' may be needed. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best.
