Do Spermatocytes Cause Infertility?
36, 170 cm, 72 kg, no specific illnesses. Do spermatociles cause infertiliy? I saw a doctor and he said not to worry about unless it causes pain. He also said, if we cannot have a child via regular intercourse, I should then see a doctor. Is this the case?

Hi thank you for querry,
As you mentioned you have a spermatocele.
spermatocele is a benign cystic accumulation of sperm that arises from the head of the epididymis.
Spermatoceles can develop in varying locations, ranging from the testicle itself to locations along the course of the vas deferens.
no medical treatment available.
just painkiller when needed.
spermatocelectomy and sclerotherapy is done but it cause infertility.
You must do a semen analysis and consult your doctor.
Hope the answer will help you.
