    Spermatocele Aspiration

    Quick, minimally invasive treatment to relieve scrotal swelling and discomfort

    Spermatocele aspiration is a simple clinic-based procedure used to drain a benign, fluid-filled cyst that forms near the epididymis (the structure that stores sperm). 

    It is commonly chosen when a spermatocele becomes large, uncomfortable, or causes a noticeable lump. The procedure provides fast relief with minimal downtime and is performed safely under local anaesthetic.

    Why Consider Spermatocele Aspiration

    You may be advised to consider spermatocele aspiration if you experience: 

    • Visible lump or swelling in the scrotum 
    • Heavy or dragging sensation 
    • Discomfort when sitting, walking, or exercising 
    • Increasing size of the cyst 
    • Cosmetic concerns or anxiety about the lump

    Although spermatoceles are benign and harmless, treatment is often chosen for comfort and quality of life.
