Patient's question:
Hello, I want to ask how to treat epididymal obstruction. I have never paid much attention to physical examinations, and recently I've been feeling some discomfort, often having a sensation of urinary pain, and also a feeling of incomplete urination. I thought it might be a problem with the prostate, but the examination revealed that it was an epididymal obstruction.Doctor's answer:
Hello, to treat varicocele blockage effectively, one must address the root cause. There are many reasons that can lead to varicocele blockage:1. Certain tumors can cause varicocele blockage, such as epididymal tumors, seminal vesicle tumors, and prostate tumors, all of which can obstruct the spermatic ducts.
2. Congenital abnormalities are also a cause of varicocele blockage. For example: absence of the head, body, or tail of the epididymis; partial or complete absence of the vas deferens; lack of connection between the vas deferens and epididymis; underdevelopment of the epididymis, vas deferens, or seminal vesicles.
3. Injuries are also a significant cause. For instance, varicocele surgery, inguinal hernia repair, and spermatic cord tumor surgery can all damage the vas deferens; surgery for epididymal spermatocele or hydrocele can injure the epididymis; prostate surgery can lead to obstruction of the ejaculatory duct; or even without direct injury, postoperative infections, adhesions, or scar formation can compress and block the spermatic ducts.
It is recommended to seek diagnosis at a professional infertility hospital as early as possible and then receive targeted treatment.
