I'm feeling a bit concerned because I've developed multiple cysts on my left epididymis again. They were removed about three years ago, but now I can feel them coming back, and one of them is quite big, around 3cm by 2cm. It's not really painful, but there's definitely some discomfort. Should I be worried about these recurring epididymal cysts, and what might be causing them to grow back?

CT Value in COVID-19 RT-PCR Test

Interpretation

  1. CT value: Cycle Threshold (CT) value represents the number of cycles needed to detect the virus.
  2. Value of 21.27: A CT value of 21.27 indicates a relatively low viral load.

Implications

  1. Infectivity: A lower CT value (like 21.27) may suggest a higher infectivity.
  2. Treatment and isolation: Follow local health guidelines for COVID-19 treatment and isolation.

Next Steps

  1. Consult a healthcare professional: Discuss your test results with a doctor to determine the best course of action.
  2. Follow-up testing: Schedule follow-up tests as recommended by your healthcare provider.
