How are testicular cysts caused?
Disease description:
Pain and swelling in the testicular area; after going to the hospital for examination, a testicular cyst was diagnosed. What causes testicular cysts?

The formation of testicular cysts may be caused by various factors:
1. Congenital factors: Some patients are born with cysts in the testicles, which may be related to congenital abnormalities.
2. Structural abnormalities: Obstruction or malformation of ducts within the testicles may lead to sperm accumulation, resulting in cyst formation.
3. Inflammatory infections: Inflammations such as orchitis and epididymitis can cause tissue adhesions, leading to duct blockage and semen accumulation, thereby forming benign lesions.
4. Unhealthy lifestyle habits: Excessive masturbation or unhygienic sexual practices may increase the risk of infection and raise the likelihood of developing cysts.
5. Environmental and endocrine factors: Prolonged exposure to radiation or abnormal testosterone levels may also affect testicular health and trigger cyst development.
