Question: Dear dr,

I will try n keep my issues as short as possible. I had a cyst below my left testicle 10 years ago, evaluated by the doctor after ultrasound. It did not grow or give any problems. Recently I was straining to move bowels n my left testicle hurts. Pain subsided without treatment n began to self examine. I found another small marble ball this time on top of my left testicle. Terrified , I went to the dr n had an ultrasound. Evaluated another cyst. It could have been there for years unnoticed.

The dr assured that its benign. N that should it grow then aspiration or further medi will be administered. I felt better, left n my state of anxiety remained.

I had a growth, phleomorphic adenoma when I was 12 years old. Ignored it n finally grew to a size of a golf ball. Went for op to remove this when I was 17 years old. Grew healthily for the next 10 years n saw blood in my urine n semen. Dr say can be infection to cancer, gone thru all the checks n appt waiting, conclude infection n given antibiotics , prostatitis recur a few times in the next 2 years. I was busy n had a stress job. Always holding urine, I changed this habit n was well aldy. Thankfully hadn recur for years.

I asked the dr wat caused phleomorphic adenoma? Answer where no reason or no science proof. Y I kept had prostatitis , hard to say. Y I had testicle cyst? Dr say no definite sayings could be inflammation. So y did all this happen?? For no reason?? That makes me feel helpless n worried.

If one suffer stomach pain, it could well be wrong food eaten. If someone develop fever, it could well be a cold due to weather etc. but y the issues I have is all hidden? N no thorough explanation for the cause of it. Not even in the website.

I'm not afraid to die , it's the process n trauma one had to go thru that is traumatizing. If dr say someone had cancer advanced stage, den well wait to die. But if dr says early stage n operation n therapy is the solution to prolonged life, that's the terrible part to go thru. Get wat I mean?

Yes, I went to evaluate on my cyst n dr said to observe n jux leave it alone. But I can't get my mind off that something developed in my male organ , or in my body, n the cause is unknow.

I can't shake of the fact that there is something extra down there?!!
I can't shake off the thoughts that it will grow big n surgery/aspiration etc is needed. Y I do I need to go thru this when majority male XXXXXXX have to.

I'm so afraid to check my balls now fearing there is changes to the cyst.... N I begin to feel on off ache on my groin area. Very mild n randomly.

I'm leaving in this state on something in my mind..

Pls tell me how should I go about changing this situation?

Dear dr

Thks for your detailed advice. Can I know y does cyst develop and y some people have higher chance of developing cyst?

N how often does the cyst grow? How long will it take to see significant difference?

If it does grow n surgery not recommended, the. Wat about drainage of the cyst? Will that helped?? My doctor suggested that if it grows bigger. Any risks on this?

I had one cyst bottom of testicle 2.5mm for ten years. The recent on on top attached to left epididymis is 8mm. The dr said is too small for drainage yet.

I'm afraid to have a third cyst! Will that happen? I read that some ppl has got a few . Wat can I do about it??

I'm preparing and anticipating that either the cyst will grow big, a third cyst will appear or something bad the cyst wil become.

Desperate n in state of high anxiety .
I can't get on with my normal life. My mind is filled with worries

Could u Oso recommend what medications that can be taken to reduce the cyst or stop it from growing?

N wat are the ways to reduce the risk for testicle cyst? Or to prevent it. Whether its supplement, home remedies etc

Dear dr
Thank for your detailed reply. I can only tell u that I can shake off the thoughts that extra "stuff" is on my most sensitive organ. N I begin to feel some lower inner thigh pain n random tinge pain at the groin area.
I don't know if its because I think too much of it or very bothered by it. Or it had really grown n caused discomfort . I'm like awaiting the growth to grow n very distracted by that . I can't wait for that few years to come to see if it grows. My apologies that u have to handle my psychological factor. But now I walk sit run with my mind stuck to the extra thingy up on my balls. That sux!!

I'm searching for ways to prevent it or stop it from growing which seemed impossible in science. Now I'm feeling to "wait" n let it grow or "wait " again for the next cyst. That thought is agonizing .

N I'm feeling tinge of pain at upper groin stomach area. Random on off. N some mild pain at my lower inner left thigh. Both pain XXXXXXX "connect" so I guess if the cyst had grown n press on some nerves. I can't help worrying!!!

Dear dr,
Thks again for your prompt reply. Can I ask if these cyst can press on any nerve surrounding n caused pain like muscle tension to the inner thigh area?
If yes, wat can be done?
I realized I have a stretchy on my Lower left thigh. Sort of muscle strain. But I when I press feel the cyst on top my left testicle harder, the mild pain is felt on at the cyst surrounding area.
R they connected?
