I have a cyst on my left testicle. They found it 4 years ago when I was having blood in the urine. I’ve had 3 cystoscope procedures and the urologist can’t find the source of bleeding. My legs feel really weak when I’m having a flare up. I have a ache in my testicles and ureathra. But it’s the sore leg muscles that is impairing me on a daily basis. I’m considering asking them to remove the cyst. But I don’t know if that is what is causing my testicle, leg pain and blood in the urine. Does this sound familiar to anyone?? I’m hoping someone can shed some light on this.
I had a op 5 years ago to remove epididymis cysts which grew very big while on a waiting list for 3 years lump was in my right testicle.It was removed now 5 years has passed i have small lump and is now getting painful the cyst can come back.It was worth while having the op at the time and i will do it again.The pain can affect my back and some days i walk with a limp it can be very sore one day other days you wouldn't know you got it.
Can having cyst in the testicle make you sterile?
I have had the same described pain for about 4 years. 3 years ago I had an ultrasound and they found nothing and just said it was in my head and gave me Amitriptyline to deal with the pain. Just a few months ago I felt a lump on my left testicle. Oddly I was glad as I was still in pain and hoped this would finally get the doctors to do something. In my second ultrasound they found a cyst. I see the urologist this week and hope they take the cyst. My worry now is since I had pain before the cyst, will this get rid of the pain. I am at the point of just wanting to remove the testicle. Has anyone else had pain before the cyst?
Just got back from the Er and I have two as well. One on each ball. It hurts. So idk what the not painful consensus is about. First doctor thought it was a bacterial infection. Until I went ten days on antibiotics and nothing got better. went back and they found the cysts on the second ultrasound with no infection. Gave me naproxen which dosent help much

Hi, guest.
Epididymal cysts, also known as spermatoceles, are usually caused by a blockage in the epididymis (the tube connecting the testes to the vas deferens). This blockage can be caused by a number of things, including infection, injury, or a congenital abnormality. In some cases, the cause is unknown.
Treatment for painful epididymal cysts usually involves draining the cyst or surgically removing it. If the cyst is not causing any symptoms and is not growing, it may not require any treatment. In this case, the doctor will likely recommend regular checkups to monitor the cyst. If the cyst is causing pain or discomfort, the doctor may suggest draining the cyst with a needle and syringe. In some cases, the entire cyst may need to be removed through surgery. Your doctor will discuss with you the best option for treating your epididymal cysts.

Reading this thread definitely helps a man feel a little less crazy, definitely sympathize with the thought of it being in your head. I've noticed hot weather and possibly a misalignment of the testicle might be the issue. Likely the weight of the cyst pulling the testicle and stretching the tube. Supportive underwear can help, but making sure the testicle(s) aligned beforehand seems crucial, at least personally.
