What Causes Pain On Both Sides Of The Spermatocele?

I received blunt trauma to the testicles when I was around 12 years old. I'm now 20 and have occasional pain in both sides and have a spermatocele. So I am wondering can this pain be solved safely and is there a possibility of lowered testosterone from the injury and/or a spermatocele?

Hello
Thanks for query
.Based on the facts that you have sustained testicular injury 8 years back and has bilateral spermatocele and worried about diminished secretion of testosterone by the testis due to trauma and lowering your sperm count due to bilateral spermatocele .

Testosterone secretion can not be reduced due to trauma to your testicle at the age of 12 years when the testicles are not fully developed which usually takes after the age of 15 -16 years
As regards your doubt about the effect of spermatocele to lower down the sperm count I would state that sperm are produced by Seminiferous tubules in testicle where as Spermatocele is a benign cyst located in Epididymis that develops due to blockage in transmission of sperms from epididymis into Vas and has no direct or indirect effect on spermatogenesis( Sperm production).
