Patient's question:
Hello, I would like to consult about how to treat epididymal blockage effectively. I haven't paid much attention to health check-ups, but recently I've been feeling uncomfortable, often experiencing pain during urination, and sometimes a feeling of incomplete urination. I thought it might be a prostate issue, but the examination revealed an epididymal blockage. How can I treat the epididymal blockage?Doctor's answer:
Obstruction of the vas deferens can cause obstructive azoospermia, which is also clinically referred to as pseudo-azoospermia. Its clinical manifestations and characteristics are as follows: normal-sized testicles, absence of sperm, normal levels of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and testosterone in serum, and normal results from testicular biopsy. However, for a definitive diagnosis, contrast imaging must be performed. It is recommended to first undergo a vasography to identify the cause. Additionally, patients should avoid smoking, alcohol consumption, and spicy or stimulating foods. In terms of diet, it is advisable to maintain a light yet nutritious diet, exercise regularly, and keep both physical and mental health in good condition.
