What Causes A Painless Lump In The Scrotal Sac?

I am a 36 year old male. I have been having a pain less lump in the scrotal sac for years (at least 10-15 years). Since, it causes no pain I have been largely ignoring the fact that there is something abnormal down there. There has been no problem with the Semen Analysis. Is this lump something that I should be worried about?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.



Painless lump in testis which does not increase in size over the period of time is mostly spermatoclee also known as epididymal cyst. It is just a harmless cyst which will remain there without causing any problem and ideally no treatment is offered for it. But you need to be vigilant, if you feel that the size is increasing with time or it start to hurt then you should first get your scrotal ultrasound done and get opinion from your urologist.



Hope I have answered your query.
