Explanation

A large spermatocele is a medical condition where a cyst, or a small sac filled with fluid, forms in the tube that carries sperm from the testicles. This cyst is usually found near the top or behind a testicle. It's typically painless and harmless, but it can become quite large, hence the term "large spermatocele". It's not a serious condition, but it can cause discomfort or a heavy feeling in the testicle.
