Hey guys i got a cyst in the male private part and its painful im wondering if anyone has experinced a cyst anywhere around their body and the question is if i continue lifting with a cyst will it get bigger i got mine checked out but doctor said its nothing srs. The reason im asking is because i dont know if they get bigger or worse if you lift. And also How long does it take for the pain to go away and should i still keep lifting ? And do they go away?

Never had a cyst before but it sounds bad. I would make sure that you legs aren't rubbing against it while doing squats and other leg exercises. Also try to clean off the sweat right away. Wear loose clothing too?

It really depends. Sometimes they need to be removed - if they cause issues, has fuss/mucus, if they grow, if they hurt, etc.

They can get bigger and then either turn bad or just become a general issue due to the size.

They don't always need to do that, but it might happen.

Especially because cysts can become infected. Either through the normal bacteria carried in the skin around it, as well as due to sex (when being in a genital area), or other stressing factors ( area that is robbed or pressed a lot, for instance: due to sitting, clothing or other bodyparts).

Some forms might go away. Removal of the cyst depends on if it causes pain, distress or becomes larger and / or infects. And also in most cases can be done very minimal-invasive and with local anaesthetic.

But that is defenitally something to talk with a doctor about.

Here is a good info link:

i dont think you are, but just incase....always wear fresh clothes to the gym too! I know a guy who used to wear the same shorts two days in a row to the gym to cut down on laundry, it seems fairly harmless i mean its only gym clothes,  and he ended up getting some wierd infection type cyst once!

If you have a cyst on your testicals and the doctor said not to worry about it, it is very likely it is a "calcium deposit" and it will go away on its own.

I know this because it happened to me once. It could be caused from the strain of exercises and blood gets in your balls. I am pretty sure that is what I was told when I was like 18.

Keep an eye on it, check it once a week. If it DOES get bigger.... go back to the doctor... but I am sure everything is fine bro!

Bojan,

Is it inside the scrotum or outside? The reason I ask is that if it is inside, it could be a spermocele which is an abnormal sack that develops in the tubing of the epididymis. It can be quite painful and lifting can exacerbate it. As long as it is not ON your testicles, it is nothing to worry about. If it is on your testicle, get it checked ASAP. If it is outside, it could be a regular cyst or a lipoma. A lipoma is a benign fatty tumor. I have one on my back and other than being a bit unsightly it causes me no problem. These never develop into cancer and don't really need to be removed.
