DEFINITION OF ESPERMATOCELE
The spermatic cyst or espermatocele is a benign painful cyst. It grows given to the epididymis close to the apex of the testicle. The hidrocele and varicocele (described in other guides), they are also painful and a benign inflammations source escrotales.
The hematocele is a mass escrotal caused by a physical injury and he consists of the blood accumulation. With a rupture inguinal, a portion of the intestine can go out towards the scrotum and cause an inflammation.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
- Bundles or distension in the scrotum.
- Possible local pain and sensibility.
The masses escrotales have many causes. These include tumors, cysts and other inflammations, physical injuries and ruptures inguinales.
The tumors can be benign or malignant. The tumors that grow inside the proper testicle are, usually, malignant (cancerous). Those located in another place inside the scrotum normally are benign (not cancerous). The testicles cancer is described in another place.
DIAGNOSIS
All the masses escrotales must be evaluated by a doctor. If the mass is a tumor it can be malignant. The tumor must be extirpated surgically this way to do a rigorous diagnosis. A blood test and an examination with ultrasounds (ultrasonography), which can turn out to be something painful, help to distinguish many inoffensive causes of the masses escrotales from the tumors.
ARE THE MASSES ESCROTALES SERIOUS?
The malignant tumors are serious. If they are detected before the cancer spreads (to see Self-examination of the Testicles), they can be treated really. Many other causes of the masses escrotales are not, generally, worrying. Except the rupture inguinal, they do not need treatment.
TREATMENT
Surgical. If it exists a tumor testicular is necessary his extraction. The cancer testicular needs the surgical extraction of the finished testicle, as well as additional treatment.
The ruptures inguinales generally need surgery (to see Types of Ruptures). Other causes of masses escrotales, generally, do not need treatment.
