Hydrocele and epididymal cyst treatments

Hydrocele and epididymal cysts are types of testicular lumps and swellings. Our expert Urology Consultants and hospital facilities will provide you with fast diagnosis and treatment.

Testicular lumps: what's the difference?

Hydrocele and epididymal cysts are types of testicular lumps and swellings:

Hydrocele is a swelling caused by fluid around the testicle
Epididymal cysts are lumps caused by a collection of fluid in the epididymis, which is a long-coiled tube behind the testicles

Lumps, swellings or changes to the testicles should always be checked out. You can book treatment for testicular lumps with one of our Consultants by completing our online booking form or by calling our Private Patient Team on 01580 363158.

I have a question about testicular lumps and swellings

What’s the treatment for hydrocele or epididymal cysts

Some may not require any treatment and may just disappear on their own (this can occur in babies, for example). If a lump causes pain or discomfort it may be possible to have it surgically removed.

What happens during treatment for hydrocele or epididymal cysts?

Treatment for a testicular lump will depend on the underlying cause of the lump. Our Consultant Urologists will discuss your treatment plan, and whether a surgical or non-surgical option is right for you.
