Can Masturbating Increase The Size Of An Epididymial Cyst Or Could It Be Due To Cancer?
Hi, can masturbating increase the size of an epididymial cyst? I found out that I had one in December, and I was told by my doc to go get a second ultrasound, which I will do in 1 week, but I have noticed that the cyst has grown in size. Could this be because of masturbation, which I usually do about 4-5 times a week (excessive, I know). Or could it be something else like cancer?

Hello
Thanks for query.
Epididymal cyst is benign in nature and is not due to cancer,
In most of the cases it remains static for many years and is harmless.
As regards your doubt about it being increased in size due to masturbation I would state that masturbation has no direct or indirect effect on the size of the cyst .
