What exactly is spermatocele in men?

Patient's Query

What is spermatocele in men

Answered by Dr. Madhu Sudan

Spermatocele in men is a fluid-filled cyst that can develop in the epididymis, which is the coiled tube located behind the testicle. These cysts are usually painless and harmless, often caused by a blockage in the tubes that transport sperm. It's quite common and doesn't typically affect fertility. If you notice a painless lump or swelling in your scrotum, that could be a spermatocele. It's always a good idea to have it checked out by a sexologist just to confirm the diagnosis.

Should I worry after turps that when I peeing blood comes out then clears

Male | 74

You shouldn't usually see­ blood in your urine after turps. This abnormality can arise if bladde­r or urethra irritation occurs. Infections or kidney stone­s commonly trigger this issue. See­k medical advice promptly if accompanied by pain, fe­ver, or persistent occurre­nce. Increase fluid intake­ and abstain from spicy cuisine for relief. With prope­r care, your body's natural healing mechanisms will like­ly resolve the condition.

Kidney sell out Krna h ho jye ge ky 25 lakh ki need h

Male | 32

It's important to know that selling organs is illegal and unsafe. There are many reasons why someone might consider this, like financial struggles or desperation, but it's crucial to explore other options. In fact, kidney donation should always be voluntary and altruistic. If you or someone you know is facing financial difficulties, there are support services available to help. I recommend reaching out to a healthcare professional or a social worker who can provide guidance and assistance.

I want to know about phimosis

Male | 23

Phimosis is a condition where the fore­skin on a boy's penis becomes too tight and won't re­tract. It can make urinating tricky, trigger swelling, or cause­ pain. Usually, it stems from the foreskin failing to stre­tch properly during growth. Often, circumcision solves it – that's a simple­ surgery removing the ove­rly-snug foreskin. Getting medical he­lp is crucial if you or someone you care about face­s these issues.

I'm 23 years female who keeps getting uti even after taking an injection or antibiotics now I'm suffering again from it for almost 2 days if I drink lot of water it stops if I don't it comes back pls assist

Female | 23

A UTI can bring along symptoms such as frequent urine, a burning sensation while peeing, and urine that is cloudy or has a strong smell. The bacteria invade the urinary tract, thus causing the infections. Drinking more water, on the other hand, can help to displace the bacteria. In addition to drinking enough water and urinating after sex, wiping from front to back can help keep UTIs at bay. In the case of recurring UTIs, the doctor may suggest additional tests or long-term antibiotics.

Please visita urologist, as they can properly diagnose and treat the infection. They may recommend urine tests, prescribe antibiotics, or suggest other appropriate treatments to help alleviate your symptoms and promote healing.

Good evening, male, 47 y/o. For about 30 years I have been suffering from pelvic pain that arises ONLY a few hours after ejaculation. The pain originates precisely at the base of the scrotum and extends over hours to the entire scrotum and sometimes to the shaft of the penis. It arises as an itch, then a pinch, then grows in intensity until it becomes aching with a strong sense of heat accompanied by pronounced relaxation of the scrotum. Ice and (sometimes) supine position are the only things that provide temporary relief. I should add that prolonged abstinence has always given me discomfort and sensation of urinary urgency, which disappears with orgasm. Until two years ago the pain disappeared with sleep at night, so I only had regular sexual activity before going to sleep, and in this way I had a normal sex life and children. Then it began to occur EVEN THE NEXT DAY starting around noon and escalating into the evening, then (usually) disappearing the next morning. Over the years I have consulted several urologists. In 2001 the first transrectal ultrasound (all negative). Recent worsening of symptoms (i.e., their persistence even the next day) prompted me to confront other urologists, who were unable to help me. Prescribed spermioculture and Stamey test (all negative), prostate echo normal (some calcification). For the past two years I have been taking prostate supplements, anti-inflammatories, muscle relaxants, PEA etc without success. I tried acupuncture, ozone therapy, craniosacral osteopathy, TENS, pelvic floor physiotherapy (identified and treated contracted "triggers"), without success. A neurologist hypothesized muscular causes possibly related to a tempomandibular dislocation (hypothesis ruled out by maxillofacial surgeon) and prescribed Mutabon Mite 2 cpp/day which I took for three months, without success. A psychologist specializing in chronic pain has suggested nociplastic (psychogenic) pain and is helping me to manage the distress this problem causes me, but unfortunately not to reduce it as I had hoped. Thanks to her, however, I was able to accurately track the point of origin and course of the pain (so-called "somatic tracking"). On the advice of the GP I went in February to the Niguarda Hospital Pain Therapy where, with hypothesis pudendal neuropathy, I was prescribed pelvic MRI (resulted adductor enthesopathies), lumbosacral MRI (resulted disc dehydration, asymptomatic), pelvic EMG (no abnormalities), physiatric examination (no abnormalities). I have follow-up visit in September to evaluate nerve block, but in light of the negative EMG I don't know what they will say. In the meantime I have been prescribed Pregabalin 25+25 and then 50+50, which makes me sleep very well but has no effect on the disorder, so I will insist a little longer and then I think I will discontinue. I am very frustrated, I am asking if anyone reading me has any idea, if not of a treatment, at least of a diagnosis that I've never been given. Thank you.

I advise you to go to a urologist or andrologist for your condition and proper treatment. They are the ones who have been properly trained to recognize and manage these kinds of conditions related to male reproductive health.
