Can an epididymal cyst affect fertility or sperm production?
4 weeks ago
An ultrasound showed a small epididymal cyst near my testicle. It doesn't really hurt, but I keep worrying about fertility. Can an epididymal cyst affect sperm production or fertility in some cases?

Most epididymal cysts are benign and do not affect sperm production or fertility, especially when small and asymptomatic.
However, in rare cases, large or multiple cysts may interfere with sperm transport through the epididymis.
It is reassuring that yours is small and painless, but if fertility concerns persist, consulting a urologist or fertility specialist for a thorough evaluation would be advisable.
