Hello
Thanks for your query.Based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have Epididymal cyst of a size of 1 cm.It is benign in nature.
One has to just observe it ,normally no treatment is required however may need to get excised if it increase in size or becomes painful.
Do not worry It will not affect fertility of your husband .
As regards pregnancy consult your Gynaecologist for clinical assessment and treatment (if required)
Get semen analysis of your husband done to find out sperm count and morphology of the sperms.to have effective fertilization of egg
