Question : Hello Dr .
The doctor said i had pepples inside my ball sacks . Can this be treated?
I am concerned because i went for an ultrasound and they found some in me.
I am wondering if anyone has been treated for this matter.
Thanks .

Brief Answer:
These are mostly Spermatocele

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for query.
The freely XXXXXXX pebble like structures in the scrotal sac are most likely to be Spermatocele .

However it needs to be confirmed by clinical examination by a qualified General surgeon or Urologist

These are benign cyst that occur due to partial obstruction to the flow of sperms from Epididymis into Vas difference .

Spermatocele is a benign cyst and does not need any active intervention unless it increases in size or becomes painful.

Hope I have answered your query ,please feel free to ask if you have more questions , I shall be happy to help you .
Thanks and Regards.
