Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 21 year old male. I visited a local doctor and he diagnosed a cyst on my left testicle (0.59 inch). He suggested that it is not necessary to undergo any surgery now. Also, I have increased levels of estradiol, bilirubin and SGOT. But, my general medicine doctor suggested that there is nothing to worry about. Is cyst the reason for increased levels of estradiol?

Answered by Dr. Raman Tanwar

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

These metabolic alterations are not because of the cyst. You may rest assured and we can observe the cyst until it causes pain or starts to grow rapidly in size or changes significantly in appearance. Increased estrogen may form from peripheral aromatizing in obese individuals. Please check your weight as that can help.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

Then, I assume that the problem is not from the cyst as I have been carrying it since I remember. It has not caused any discomfort. Although it is not from the cyst, it makes me even more curious as I have been having bad stomach, recurrent tonsillitis, compromised immunity, low metabolism and mild gynecomastia. Also, I work out almost for two hours, with mostly cardio exercises. Still, I am keep on putting weight. Even my gym trainer was concerned for the same. Does it have any link with the liver?

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

We can have an idea if your liver is the cause by getting liver function tests. However, such subtle symptoms may not necessarily derange your enzymes. There are many hormones that may also be responsible for your symptoms and gynecomastia. But, I doubt if it requires any treatment in particular.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
