Get a lump looked at properly, quickly.
Most epididymal cysts are harmless — but no scrotal lump should be left unexamined. Our job at the consultation is to confirm what it is, and tell you honestly whether it needs treating at all.
Discreet, Consultant-Led Care
You are seen by an experienced specialist in a private, unhurried appointment. No crowded waiting room, no rushed clinic slot, and your notes stay confidential.
Diagnosis and Treatment in One Place
Your consultation and your day case surgery both happen at Deansgate Hospital, our CQC registered independent hospital in central Manchester — purpose-built theatres, private rooms and a small, familiar team.
Seen and Reassured Quickly
Waiting weeks to get a lump looked at is the worst part of finding one. Privately, assessment is usually available within days rather than months.
When an epididymal cyst is worth removing
An epididymal cyst is a fluid-filled sac in the epididymis, the coiled tube behind the testicle. They are common, usually harmless and often painless — but they can grow and become a nuisance.
Get a diagnosis first
Every scrotal lump should be assessed by a specialist to confirm what it is and rule out anything serious, with further investigations if required. Reassurance is sometimes the best outcome.
Small and painless — often leave it alone
Small, symptom-free cysts confirmed on specialist assessment frequently need no treatment at all. We will tell you when doing nothing is the right answer.
Enlarging, uncomfortable or worrying
Where a cyst is growing, causing a dragging discomfort, or simply weighing on your mind, excision through a small scrotal incision is a definitive day case solution with a low chance of recurrence.
If you have found a new scrotal lump, get it checked. The overwhelming majority turn out to be harmless cysts, but only a specialist assessment, with further investigations if required, can confirm that. Call 0161 470 9280 and we will arrange a confidential appointment.

Your Aftercare
Scrotal support, a written aftercare plan, a follow-up review and a direct number to call if anything concerns you.
Your questions, answered honestly
Is the consultation confidential?
Yes. Your initial consultation is entirely confidential and carries no obligation to proceed. You are seen privately at Deansgate Hospital by the specialist who would carry out any surgery.
Are epididymal cysts dangerous?
Epididymal cysts are benign — they are not cancer and they do not become cancer. That said, any new scrotal lump should be examined by a specialist to confirm the diagnosis, because other conditions can feel similar.
How much does epididymal cyst removal cost in Manchester?
Surgery is quoted individually after your consultation, once your specialist has examined you and confirmed what is needed. The quote is written, all-inclusive and fixed. Call 0161 470 9280 to talk it through.
What happens at the first appointment?
Your specialist assesses the lump, confirms what it is, and explains plainly whether it needs treating. Where further investigations are required they are arranged for you, and your specialist will talk you through why. You leave knowing where you stand.
Does every cyst need removing?
No. Small, painless cysts frequently need no treatment at all and can simply be monitored. Removal is worth considering when a cyst is enlarging, uncomfortable, or affecting your daily life or peace of mind.
Is the operation done under local or general anaesthetic?
Either, depending on the size and position of the cyst and your own preference. Both are day case options — you go home the same day. Your specialist will discuss which suits you.
What is the recovery like?
Expect some bruising, swelling and aching for a week or two, helped by supportive underwear and simple painkillers. Most men are back at desk-based work within a few days and avoid heavy exercise for around two weeks.
Will it come back?
Recurrence after proper surgical excision is uncommon, which is why excision is preferred over simply draining the cyst with a needle — drained fluid usually returns.
How quickly can I be seen in Manchester?
