There is no need to treat asymptomatic epididymal cysts unless it become painful or suddenly start increasing in size.Ceftriaxone (250 mg as a single dose IM) followed by doxycycline (100 mg by mouth twice daily for 10 days) constitutes effective treatment for it against N. gonorrhoeae or C. trachomatis ,which are most common organisms.If it occur recurrently you have to operate it.
