There are 2 possibilities of cysts which are likely to be the diagnosis.
A spermatocele which is a cyst of the epididymis containing sperms. These are similar to epididymal cysts except that these are connected to the testicle and the swelling is filled with cloudy fluid containing many sperms and similar cells.
Epididymal cysts are fluid filled cysts that arise from outflow ducts that leave the top part of the testicle in the part of the testicle called the epididymis. They may occur at any age and when small are best left alone.
Epididymal cysts are filled with clear fluid and are not associated with cancer. It is usually possible to distinguish an epididymal cyst by careful examination and they can be felt as separate round swellings above or sometimes behind the testicle.
An Ultrasound of the testes helps in making the diagnosis.
Since both conditions are benign and hence I think you need not worry much about them.
I sincerely hope that helps. Please do keep me posted. Kind regards.
