10 Causes of Testicle Pain
Cause #6: Spermatocele
Cysts are fairly common and can be found pretty much anywhere in the body. They are usually caused by an infection, or perhaps by the clogging of pores or glands. They are generally little more than contained pockets of fluids and are usually benign. They can also occur in the epididymis, which is a tube that helps carry sperm.
If left untreated, a cyst in the epididymis, known as a spermatocele, can grow to be quite large. It is usually treated with antibiotics and can be cured completely with no lasting damage. Surgery can be performed in severe cases, but this can potentially cause the patient to become sterile.
