Brief Answer:
No fertility issues are observed with epididymal cyst

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Masturbation has no ill effects on the body. Masturbation is neither related to epididymal cyst formation nor infertility issues in the future.

Likewise, a small sized epididymal cyst will not cause infertility. Of course, a large size has to be surgically removed.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Thank you.

Brief Answer:
Please upload the reports

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Homepathic remedies have absolutely no influence on your cysts what so ever.

I can certainly guide you better if you can upload the relevant scrotal ultrasound reports in the "upload reports" option of the app.

Once I receive your reports, I will guide you through.

Thank you.
