spermatocele

An ultrasound may be used to confirm the diagnosis of a spermatocele.

Often a spermatocele does not cause symptoms.

Treatment is not usually needed if a spermatocele does not change in size or gets smaller as the body reabsorbs the fluid.

If an individual finds what they suspect to be a spermatocele, they are advised to consult a urologist.

Scarring, of any part of the epididymis, can cause it to become obstructed and may form a spermatocele.

A spermatocelectomy is a surgical procedure performed to remove a spermatocele by separating it from the epididymis.

Only when the cysts are causing discomfort and are enlarging in size, or the patient wants the spermatocele removed, should a spermatocelectomy be considered.

Hennig had an ongoing leg injury that year, and Rude was thought to have had testicular cancer which later turned out to be a spermatocele.

It is commonly associated with epididymal abnormalities, such as spermatocele, epididymal cyst, and epididymitis.

If the spermatocele gets larger or causes discomfort, a procedure to remove the spermatocele (spermatocelectomy) may be needed.

The surgeon pulls the testicle and epididymis to the incision and separates the spermatocele by tying it off with a suture.

Today, jockstraps are still worn for medical purposes and for recovery from injury or surgery for such conditions as hematocele, hydrocele, or spermatocele.

These include hydrocele testis, a varicocele, a spermatocele, other genitourinary cancers, urinary tract infections or sexually transmitted infections, or testicular torsion.

It occurs in 15-19% of people post vasectomy, due to infections such as epididymitis, prostatitis, and orchitis, as well as varicocele, hydrocele, spermatocele, polyarteritis nodosa, testicular torsion, previous surgery and trauma.
