Adding a citation about spermatocele After spermatocelectomy, the patient returns 2-6 weeks to check its progress.

When to see a doctor:


 * Pain and/or swelling in your scrotum
 * You notice a difference such as a mass during your testicular self-exam

Seeking medical attention quickly will help rule out other causes and begin treatment.

Risk of epididymal injury is 17.12%. This incident may happen when the spermatocele is being dissected from the head of the epididymis.

Population affected:

Spermetocele is seen in males, more specifically adolescents and adult males. The highest cases reported are from males in their middle-age. Before puberty, children from the male sex may develop a similar benign mass called epididymis cyst. Although both epididymis cyst and spermatocele may be referred as the same, the epididymis cyst does not contain sperm and it can occur anywhere within the epididymis. It can be differentiated through an ultrasound imagining. Epididymis cysts larger than 10mm in diameter are recommended for surgery but if there is no problem then surgery is discourage as it can affect fertility in the future.

Medications:

Common medications recommended by doctors are acetaminophen (Tylenol) that can treat pain. To treat the inflammation and pain, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are recommended such as ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil), naproxen (Aleve), and others

Risk factors

Unfortunately, it is not well known what may be causing the growth of a spermatocele. It has been observed that pregnant women who were prescribed diethylstilbestro (DES) to prevent pregnancy complications, such as miscarriage, and gave birth to a son most likely increased the risk of the son to develop a spermatocele in the future. However, doctors stopped prescribing this medication in 1971 since it increased the risk of women developing a rare vaginal cancer.

Infertility

If the pain is intolerable and the person would like to get the spermatocele removed immediately, the person should talk to his doctor about the possibility of freezing or donating sperm in case infertility occurs.

Male Reproductive System
Spermatoceles are important to not be ignored as it can affect the male reproductive system. The testes are organs inside the scrotum that create sperm as well as sex hormones and testosterone. The sperm in the testes move to the epididymis which is a long, coiled tube behind the testes. The primary function is to store and mature sperm so it can fertilize the egg. However, if the epididymis become injured, then there is a chance that the sperm will not mature and a man will not be able to reproduce with a women. Therefore, serious thought must be considered when undergoing spermatocelectomy.
