What is bilateral epididymal cyst?

Bilateral epididymal cysts are a common male reproductive system condition, primarily characterized by cystic lesions occurring in the epididymis. These cysts are usually caused by factors such as inflammation, anatomical structural abnormalities, hormonal changes, seminal vesicle cysts, or obstruction of the spermatic ducts. When the cysts are small, patients may experience no obvious symptoms. However, as the cysts enlarge, symptoms such as scrotal swelling, pain, discomfort during ejaculation, a sensation of heaviness in the testicles, and sexual dysfunction may occur. For patients with small, asymptomatic cysts, regular monitoring is typically recommended. For those with larger cysts or significant symptoms, treatment options may include medication, cyst aspiration, or surgical intervention.
