Patient's question:
I went to the hospital for a check-up a few days ago and found that my vas deferens was swollen. The doctor said it could be treated with surgery, but the hospital I went to is a private one, so I'm a bit uneasy. I want to know what caused the swelling of the vas deferens and whether surgery is necessary. How should the swelling of the vas deferens be treated the best?Doctor's answer:
Epididymal cysts are primarily caused by inflammation in the male reproductive system that has not been treated promptly, leading to the swelling of the epididymis. In severe cases, it can result in male infertility. The clinical manifestations of epididymal cysts can be classified as mild or severe. In mild cases, the swelling of the epididymis is relatively small, and it does not actually affect the quality of sperm and semen, nor does it obstruct the ejaculation of sperm. With timely treatment, it can still be cured!
