Pronunciation. / spɜːrˈmætəsiːl / [1] [2] Specialty. Urology. Spermatocele is a fluid-filled cyst that develops in the epididymis. [3] The fluid is usually a clear or milky white color and may contain sperm. [4] Spermatoceles are typically filled with spermatozoa [5] and they can vary in size from several millimeters to many centimeters.
Epididymal cyst is a harmless sac in the testicles filled with fluid. [2] The most frequent clinical presentation occurs when a routine physical examination yields an unexpected finding, which is then confirmed by scrotal ultrasonography. [1] Although the exact cause of epididymal cysts is unknown, it is likely a congenital anomaly associated ...
The mediastinum testis appears as the hyperechoic region located at the periphery of the testis as seen in this figure. [citation needed] Scrotal (or transscrotal) ultrasound is a medical ultrasound examination of the scrotum. It is used in the evaluation of testicular pain, and can help identify solid masses. [1]
Testicular microlithiasis is an unusual condition diagnosed on testicular ultrasound. It is believed to be found in 0.1–0.6% of males globally, with frequency varying based on geographic location and is more often found in individuals with subfertility. It is a often an asymptomatic, non-progressive disease; though in a very small number of ...
Acute epididymitis with abundant fibrinopurulent exudate in the tubules. Epididymitis is a medical condition characterized by inflammation of the epididymis, a curved structure at the back of the testicle. [1] Onset of pain is typically over a day or two. [1] The pain may improve with raising the testicle. [1]
Epididymal cysts is a mass that forms in the epididymis. [10] These cysts differ from spermatoceles as they contain clear fluid, rather than seminal fluid. In addition, spermatoceles are more likely to be found on the head of the epididymis. [19] Other abnormalities can be detected during male genital examination including Peyronie's disease.
Testicular torsion occurs when there is mechanical twisting of the spermatic cord, which suspends the testicle within the scrotum and contains the testicular artery and vein. Twisting of the cord reduces or eliminates blood flow to the testicle. [ 3] The degree of arterial and venous obstruction depends on the duration and severity of the ...
Testicular pain, also known as scrotal pain, occurs when part or all of either one or both testicles hurt. Pain in the scrotum is also often included. Testicular pain may be of sudden onset or of long duration. [1] [2] Causes range from non serious muscular skeletal problems to emergency conditions such as Fournier gangrene and testicular torsion.
