I just went to the doctor and they did a ultrasound on my testicles and found out I had a cyst on both testicles. Should I be worried about this...is this going to mean I may have my testicles removed, because this is really bugging me.

You can do research by searching for "Epididymal cysts". Your primary care physician can and should answer any questions you have. Here is some of what I found:
"Causes of cysts include trauma and blow-outs. While it is not "normal" to feel intermittent pain, this is not uncommon with cysts in the epididymis.
Epididymal cysts or spermatoceles do not typically lead to anything more serious but they do tend to grow and enlarge. If they should rupture, there would be very significant inflammation of the testicle.
The cysts will remain unless surgically removed. They do not typically "come and go" although having one removed does not prevent the eventual development of new cysts in other locations.
Masturbation and sexual activity will most likely not have any significant effect on the cysts one way or the other.
There is nothing to avoid that will help the cysts except unnecessary trauma to the testicle which is something we tend to avoid anyway. When or if the cysts bother you enough, have them removed. "

Nothing to worry about because only cystic part is removed not the whole of testis meaning thereby you can enjoy your sex life comfortably.
