When the testicles are twisted, the patient will find a painful mass around the testicle on one or both sides. This disease can occur at any time and may be accompanied by nausea and vomiting.

Internal testicular injury (5%):

Injury inside the testicles on both sides may be the cause of testicular swelling. This condition may require hospitalization and surgical treatment if needed.

Symptoms of testicular cysts Common symptoms Scrotal edema Scrotum swelling Scrotum scrotal pain Scrotum falling testicular tenderness Testicular drooping

1. Generally asymptomatic, sometimes there is a scrotal discomfort or a feeling of falling, and sometimes there is a situation in which the scrotum is swollen.

2. The testicle or epididymis touches a round mass, soft texture, fluctuating, clear boundaries, and the compression does not shrink.

Examination of testicular cysts

1. The light transmission test is positive. The cyst puncture fluid is milky white, opaque, and there are inactive sperm and fat bodies in the microscopic examination. After being placed at room temperature for a short period of time, the original inactive sperm in the liquid becomes active.

2. B-ultrasound can be found in the dark areas of the testis or epididymis.

Diagnosis and differentiation of testicular cyst

Diagnostic criteria

1. Generally asymptomatic, sometimes there is a scrotal discomfort or a feeling of falling, and sometimes there is a situation in which the scrotum is swollen.

2. The testicle or epididymis touches a round mass, soft texture, fluctuating, clear boundaries, and the compression does not shrink.

3. The light transmission test is positive. The cyst puncture fluid is milky white, opaque, and there are inactive sperm and fat bodies in the microscopic examination. After being placed at room temperature for a short period of time, the original inactive sperm in the liquid becomes active.

4. B-ultrasound: liquid dark areas can be found in the testis or epididymis.

Differential diagnosis

1. Chronic epididymitis: generally the entire epididymis is enlarged or only small nodules in the tail, hard, sometimes can be touched to thicken the vas deferens.

2. spermatic hydrocele: a cystic mass in the scrotum, oval or fusiform, located in the spermatic cord.

3.Yong syndrome: double epididymal head is enlarged or cystic, and the proximal end of the epididymis is 1~1.5 cm. There is no abnormality in the tail and vas deferens, but this disease is associated with chronic respiratory infection with bilateral epididymis progressiveness. Azoospermia caused by obstruction.
