Brief Answer:
These are mostly Spermatocele

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for query.
The freely XXXXXXX pebble like structures in the scrotal sac are most likely to be Spermatocele .

However it needs to be confirmed by clinical examination by a qualified General surgeon or Urologist

These are benign cyst that occur due to partial obstruction to the flow of sperms from Epididymis into Vas difference .

Spermatocele is a benign cyst and does not need any active intervention unless it increases in size or becomes painful.

Thanks and Regards.
