Patient's question:
Hello, I would like to consult about how to treat blocked vas deferens. I haven't paid much attention to health check-ups, but recently I've been feeling some discomfort, often having a sensation of pain during urination, and also a feeling of incomplete urination. I thought it might be a problem with the prostate, but after the check-up, it was found that the vas deferens is blocked.Doctor's answer:
Hello, to treat vas deferens blockage effectively, one must address the root cause. There are many reasons that can lead to vas deferens blockage:1. Certain tumors can cause vas deferens blockage, such as epididymal tumors, seminal vesicle tumors, and prostate tumors, all of which may obstruct the vas deferens.
2. Congenital abnormalities are also a cause of vas deferens blockage, such as:
- 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 the epididymis
- Underdevelopment of the epididymis, vas deferens, or seminal vesicles.
3. Injuries are also a significant cause: conditions like varicocele, hernia repair surgery, and vas deferens tumor surgery can all damage the vas deferens;
- Epididymal spermatocele and hydrocele surgery can affect the epididymis;
- Prostate surgery may lead to obstruction of the ejaculatory duct;
- Even without direct injury, postoperative infections, adhesions, or scar formation can compress and obstruct the vas deferens.
It is recommended to seek diagnosis at a professional infertility hospital as early as possible and then receive targeted treatment.
