Explanation

A spermatocele is a medical condition that involves a small, fluid-filled sac that develops in the upper part of a testicle. This sac, or cyst, contains dead sperm cells. It's usually painless and doesn't cause any serious health problems. Most of the time, men with a spermatocele don't even know they have one unless it grows large enough to be felt.
