lump on Vas Deferens

[concernedmale4748]

I have a lump on my upper Vas Deferens, I thought maybe it might have been an enlarged lymph node. The only way I discovered it was that it woke me up from a sound sleep with severe pain. I started to feel just above my groin area where the pain was and felt the lump. A few days later after being on antibiotics prescribed by my PCP there has been no resolve to it, I was feeling around and to my surprise I could pull my Right testicle and the lump followed and came into my scrotum and it was attached to the Vas Deferens! What is this and should I be concerned?

Hello,
It can be a spermatocele. Spermatocele is a retention cyst of a tubule of the testis. Small cysts are left as such but if it is causing pain and discomfort as in your case, then surgical intervention needs to be done. It is done under local anesthesia on an OPD basis and there is no removal of testis.

Sclerotherapy can also be done but it is usually not preferred.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
