Epididymal cyst removal also referred to as the excision of epididymal cysts or epididymal cystectomy, is a surgical procedure to remove epididymal cysts.
An epididymal cyst is a noncancerous lump filled with fluid in the epididymis. The epididymis is the tube that collects sperm around the top of men’s testicle, in the scrotum. This type of cyst is harmless. In most cases, you do not need treatment for it. The reasons why you may need epididymal cyst removal are as follows:
The cyst has grown large enough to be a nuisance, look unsightly, or make you feel embarrassed.
The cyst is causing discomfort and pain.
The cyst reoccurs after other types of treatment.
Epididymal cyst removal is carried out under general anaesthesia. In some cases, local anaesthesia with sedative drugs may be used instead. With local anesthesia, you will be awake but the affected area will be numbed. Sedative drugs will help you feel more relaxed.
Your surgeon will start the procedure by making a small incision in your scrotum over the cyst. Then, the cyst is carefully separated from the tissue that surrounds it and removed. Your surgeon will try to preserve as much of the epididymis as possible. However, sometimes a portion of the entire epididymis has to be removed as separating the two can cause damage to other structures.
Once the cyst is removed, your surgeon will close the epididymis and the skin incision using dissolvable stitches, which do not need removing.
Epididymal cyst removal is usually performed as an outpatient procedure, meaning you do not need to stay overnight in the hospital. You may leave as soon as the effects of the anaesthesia subside. Still, you need to plan to stay in Monterrey for 5 to 7 days for initial recovery and follow-up checkups.
You should minimize activity and rest as much as you can for the first two days after your epididymal cyst removal in order to prevent swelling. You may be able to do some light activities and get back to work (office job) within 3 to 5 days following the surgery. In general, you should be able to return to your normal activity in around a week. However, strenuous exercise and heavy lifting must be avoided for at least 2 weeks. Therefore, if you have a manual job, take at least 2 weeks off work. Since the sutures used are typically self-dissolving, they will fall out on their own within two to three weeks following the surgery.
After epididymal cyst removal, you will need to do the following to avoid complications:
Your doctor will likely prescribe you painkillers to help ease any pain or discomfort. Make sure to take them as prescribed.
If you have any medications you need to take (for other medical conditions you may have) ask your doctor when you can restart your medication.
Make sure you have someone to help you out for at least the first 24 hours following your surgery.
Avoid driving or operating machinery, such as cookers and other domestic appliances.
Avoid drinking alcohol for a few weeks after your surgery.
Wear scrotal support and supportive underwear to prevent swelling.
Wash the surgical wound daily with soap and water. Make sure to dry it thoroughly with a clean towel in order to prevent infection.
You can shower the day after surgery but do not take a bath, swim, use a hot tub, or soak the surgical site in water.
Apply ice compresses to the surgical site.
Avoid sexual activity until your wound has fully healed and it is comfortable for you to do so.
Epididymal cyst removal is a safe and efficient procedure. However, as with any surgical procedure, there is a risk of complications and side effects, such as:
Recurrence of the cyst or new cyst appearing in the future.
Hematoma or blood collection of the testes.
Possible infection of the incision or the testes.
Chronic pain in the affected area.
Testicular ischemia/loss.
Shrinkage of the testicle.
Reduced fertility.
These complications can be avoided if you choose a board-certified surgeon and follow every post-operative instruction your doctor gives you.
The alternatives to epididymal cyst removal are:
No treatment – in some cases, if the cyst is not causing any symptoms and is not growing any bigger, your doctor may suggest you leave it alone.
Aspiration – during this procedure, your surgeon will drain the fluid from the cyst using a needle.
If you experience pain, discomfort, or embarrassment before you undergo epididymal cyst removal, you will not experience them anymore after the surgery. You will be able to enjoy many activities you enjoyed before without having to experience pain.

Nuevo León, a northeastern state in Mexico, takes pride in its capital, Monterrey, a major financial hub for the nation. Serving as a manufacturing and industrial center, Monterrey is also home to a plethora of large Mexican and international businesses. With an impressive GDP (PPP) amounting to US$ 123 billion, it holds the distinction of being the second-most productive city in Mexico. Additionally, its population marking of 5 million residents simultaneously places it as the country's third-most populous city.
Monterrey has successfully carved out a reputation in the tourism sector, particularly drawing global attention as a favored destination for medical tourism. The underlying factors for this growing attraction can be attributed to the following reasons:
It has a dry climate and is one of the hottest cities in Mexico, winters tend to be moderate, while summers can reach high levels of heat. The hot season, which spans from May to September, is often accompanied by rainfall. For the rest of the year, the climate remains mild with relatively minimal temperate fluctuations, and there's hardly any rain during the cold season.
Monterrey can exhibit drastic shifts in its weather scenarios. For instance, a sudden shower during the summer can cool the temperatures down significantly. Conversely, the winter season might witness balmy temperatures in the absence of city-crossing winds. Instances of ice, snow, and sleet are quite the rarity in this region.
In Monterrey, there are primarily two airports dedicated to catering a variety of air traffic. The main airport used for commercial flights is Monterrey International Airport. The secondary airport, comparatively smaller, primarily serves private and cargo aircraft traffic. Monterrey International Airport efficiently accommodates a mix of both international as well as domestic travel audiences.
American, United, Delta, and Copa are some of the international airlines that connect it to Houston, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Chicago, Detroit, Dallas, Las Vegas, San Antonio, etc. People can travel to the nearby Mexican cities of Guadalajara, Mexico City, Cancun, Mazatlan, Puerto Vallarta, and Tijuana using Interjet, Aeromar, Magnicharters, and Volaris. At the same time Interjet, Aeromexico, and Viva Aerobus cater to both domestic and international travelers.
Monterrey houses the largest bus terminal in the northern region of Mexico, offering a significant connectivity advantage. Individuals can travel to and from Monterrey and various other bus stations dispersed across Mexico and the US using trans-border buses. Given Monterrey’s closeness to the US-Mexico border, a car ride from the US is another feasible transportation choice.
Moving around within the city is quite feasible and straightforward. Although efficient, the subway system's coverage is relatively limited. The optimum choice for commuting is the taxi service, which may come with a slightly higher cost compared to bus rides. It's advisable to request the driver to go by the meter to guarantee fair charges.
