Epididymal cyst

Among modern men, cases of reproductive disorders, anomalies, and pathologies are increasingly common. One such condition is related to the obstruction of sperm transport through the epididymis. In urological practice, this disorder is known as spermatocele. It is an anatomical defect characterized by the formation of benign cyst-like growths resembling small lumps or spheres filled with pathological fluid.

Typically, spermatocele manifests as a cyst or multiple localized formations. This condition can affect men of all age groups. The risk group includes patients with excessive or insufficient sexual activity, those subjected to heavy physical exertion, and those frequently exposed to cold.

At the “New Life” clinic, we offer professional medical services for the safe removal of epididymal cysts using both conservative and surgical treatment methods.

The entire treatment process is overseen by highly qualified urologists with scientific degrees in this medical field. To ensure a better and faster outcome, we provide high-precision diagnostic examinations, certified therapeutic agents, and progressive treatment techniques.

This condition directly impacts male reproductive function. The presence of such formations in the scrotum can lead to the blockage of spermatic pathways. As a result, sperm is unable to pass through and accumulates in the epididymis, causing stagnation. Consequently, an epididymal cyst can trigger various pathological conditions, such as:

• Blockage of the spermatic cord
• Painful sensations in the scrotum
• Discomfort during intimate contact
• Ruptures leading to sperm leakage into surrounding tissues
• Inflammatory foci
• Infection of adjacent tissues and reproductive organs

One of the most serious and difficult-to-treat consequences is male infertility. Spermatocele plays a significant role in this issue, as it often leads to associated anatomical pathologies and abnormalities.

Eliminating the causes of such cystic formations is a key objective of any treatment regimen. Our experienced urologists at the “New Life” clinic strive to achieve the highest therapeutic efficiency.

Men often develop this condition due to common risk factors. One of the primary causes of benign epididymal cysts is frequent exposure to cold in the perineal area. Preventing this is simple—just follow basic preventive measures, which our experienced urologists at the “New Life” medical center will gladly explain.

If the initial diagnosis confirms the condition, doctors immediately prescribe treatment aimed at addressing the most significant causes:

• Chronic inflammatory processes, especially in the pelvic organs
• Infections causing spermatocele, such as fungi, viruses, or bacteria
• Consequences of perineal trauma

Additionally, congenital anomalies may contribute to the development of spermatocele, including a narrow epididymal duct, torsion, or other structural defects.

In some cases, the condition arises as a secondary pathology against the backdrop of tissue growth, structural deterioration, epididymal compression, or ongoing inflammatory processes.

Our specialized urologists select the most effective treatment method based on clinical symptoms, disease type, and progression stage. They also take into account the form of the condition:

• Chronic
• Acute
• Extensive or localized involvement

Additionally, classification includes the number of cystic formations, their size, density, and other characteristics. Cysts are further categorized based on structural and etiological parameters.

At the “New Life” clinic’s diagnostic department, patients have access to cutting-edge technologies for accurate disease detection, staging, and pathogenesis evaluation. The department is equipped with state-of-the-art diagnostic tools utilizing laser, ultrasound, and radio-wave technologies. For a comprehensive evaluation of scrotal cysts, the following diagnostic methods may be used:

• Physiological examination with palpation
• Transillumination for differential diagnosis
• Radiological techniques to visualize cyst size and location
• Ultrasound examination of the scrotum and adjacent pelvic organs

Additional tests may include MRI, blood analysis, and semen analysis.

If the diagnostic results confirm the presence of a cyst, the doctor initially prescribes conservative treatment aimed at alleviating symptoms and discomfort. Medications and physiotherapy help manage the accompanying spermatocele-related issues, such as:

• Scrotal pain
• Enlargement of the testes and scrotum
• Discomfort during sexual intercourse
• Infertility issues
• Asymmetry of the scrotum

In advanced cases, surgical cyst removal may be required. The procedure can be performed using traditional surgery or modern hardware-assisted techniques, depending on the severity of the disease and the underlying pathological changes. At the “New Life” clinic, this operation is conducted painlessly, quickly, and with guaranteed therapeutic success.

We offer the most affordable rates for this medical service, as well as cost-effective diagnostic examinations and conservative treatments.
