Anyone?

cysts are not normally supposed to cause pain in the event they do they are supposed to be removed surgically

Thanks, Its knowing whether the pain I get is from the two small cysts I have, or from the varicoceles? The problem is, there is no test to determine which is at fault.
I'm booked in to have the varicoceles treated, but something tells me its my epididymis at fault due to the two epydidymal cysts.

ye thats a tricky one u wouldnt know until u have had those treated as to which it is causing the pain usually when cysts start to cause pain its because they are pressing on this etc so u would have to look into that option if thats the case

I guess the tale tale sign is the fact the trigger point is the top of my testicle, the head of the epididymis just where the two cysts are. That is where the pain hurts most and is the trigger point, I'm not sure how varicoceles cause pain at top of testicle, and how can they make this area be the trigger point to pain?

Hi again, I think I may have answered my own question, reading up on the epididymis seems to explain that blood flows to and from the epididymis. I guess having varicoceles means I have a blood flow drainage problem in my testes, hence the pain. I'm just not sure if the cysts are playing a part in all this, but I can tell you one thing for sure, the pain is excruciating, debilitating.

I have 4mm cyst in but also have varioceles. Hard to know which issue is causing the pain or if one issue is causing the other. Will be having surgery next month.
Drs always told me it should not be a problem, even though it is. Maybe it depends on location and size or if compressing a nerve?? (don't know, not a dr).
