Anjali Reddy, a 32-year-old software engineer...
Anjali Reddy, a 32-year-old software engineer and avid long-distance runner, first noticed a small, painless lump above her right testicle during a routine self-exam two years ago. Initially dismissing it, she grew concerned when it gradually increased to the size of a grape. While not painful, its persistent presence caused constant low-grade anxiety, especially during her runs when she was hyper-aware of any bodily changes. Her primary care physician referred her to a urologist, Dr. Mehta, who diagnosed it as a benign epididymal cyst (spermatocele). Dr. Mehta explained that while harmless, the cyst's size and the psychological distress it caused were valid reasons for removal. Anjali opted for excision under local anesthesia. The procedure itself was quick, but the anxiety of being awake during surgery on such a sensitive area was intense. The recovery involved a few days of moderate soreness and swelling, forcing her to pause her running routine for three weeks. Emotionally, she felt a mix of vulnerability and relief. After a full recovery, the constant background worry vanished. She returned to running without the subconscious dread, feeling a profound sense of bodily autonomy and peace.
