Who is this surgery for?

- A large or progressively enlarging cyst causing a palpable, bothersome lump.
- Patient anxiety or concern about the presence of a scrotal mass.
- Cyst causing obstructive symptoms or interfering with normal testicular function.
- When imaging (like ultrasound) cannot definitively rule out other, more serious conditions.
- Failure of conservative management (e.g., pain medication, supportive underwear) to control symptoms.
How to prepare
- Complete a thorough pre-operative evaluation, including medical history and physical exam.
- Undergo a scrotal ultrasound to confirm the diagnosis, map the cysts, and assess both sides.
- Discuss all current medications with the urologist; may need to stop blood thinners (e.g., aspirin, warfarin) several days prior.
- Refrain from eating or drinking (fast) for 6-8 hours before surgery if general anesthesia is planned.
- Arrange for transportation home post-surgery and for assistance during the initial recovery period.
- Shower with an antibacterial soap the night before or morning of the procedure.

- Persistent or chronic pain in the scrotum (post-surgical pain syndrome).
- Rare risks include recurrence of the cyst, testicular atrophy, or adverse reaction to anesthesia.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Immediate post-op: Rest with scrotal support (tight underwear or a jockstrap) and apply ice packs to reduce swelling.

- Keep the incision area clean and dry; follow specific instructions on showering and dressing changes.
- Attend a follow-up appointment with the urologist to monitor healing and review pathology results.

Sai Reddy, a 42-year-old software engineer...
Sai Reddy, a 42-year-old software engineer and father of two, first noticed small, pea-sized lumps above both testicles during a routine self-exam two years ago. Initially painless, they slowly grew to the size of marbles, causing a persistent, dull ache that worsened after long hours at his desk. The discomfort became distracting, and he felt constant awareness and anxiety about the lumps during intimate moments with his wife. His urologist, Dr. Mehta, diagnosed bilateral epididymal cysts (spermatocele) after an ultrasound confirmed they were benign fluid-filled sacs. Dr. Mehta recommended bilateral excision because the cysts were large, causing significant discomfort, and Sai's anxiety was affecting his quality of life. The day-surgery procedure under general anesthesia went smoothly, though Sai felt vulnerable and nervous beforehand. The immediate post-op period involved manageable soreness, swelling, and strict instructions to wear supportive underwear and avoid heavy lifting for two weeks. After a month, the discomfort was gone, the incisions healed well, and follow-up confirmed no recurrence. Emotionally, Sai transitioned from feeling anxious and self-conscious about his body to immense relief and regained confidence. He no longer has the background worry during work or intimacy, feeling like a physical and mental burden has been lifted.
