I have a small egg-like lump near my right testicle inside the scrotum that feels slippery and moves around. It gives me a slight electric shock-like pain that's really bothering me. An ultrasound showed it's a small epididymal cyst. What can be done to drain it or ease the pain? Can meds help or is surgery the only option?

Usually epididymal cysts will not cause any problem and treating them might cause problem including surgery. If there is infection you need to be treated. These cysts will not harm you unless increase in size. Get a check up with urologist.

I've been feeling something strange going on with my testicles, almost like a nerve is being pulled, and sometimes it's painful. I've been really stressed over the past few weeks, and I'm wondering if this could be related. What should I do?

The weird feeling and pain in your testicles, possibly related to stress, may be caused by epididymitis, orchitis, or testicular torsion, so it's essential to consult a urologist or healthcare provider for a proper evaluation and diagnosis
