Patient's question:
I have been married to my wife for five years. Previously, because of the busy work schedule, I never really thought about having children. Our sexual life was also quite natural, and we never intentionally took any measures for breastfeeding. However, after five years, we still haven't been able to conceive. Our family members found it quite strange and insisted that we get a thorough medical check-up. It was discovered that my husband had an epididymal anomaly, specifically an epididymal head cyst. The doctor said this condition was causing infertility. How is the treatment for epididymal anomaly?Doctor's answer:
Diagnosed, physical examination revealed no significant abnormal signs except for a hydrocele of the epididymal head. It is often diagnosed during surgery for undescended testes or male infertility. If the epididymal abnormality does not affect fertility, treatment is not necessary. Segmental epididymal self-locking can be treated through epididymal tubule vas deferens anastomosis. The condition of the epididymis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. Additionally, male patients should promptly seek professional and reputable medical treatment, considering treatment options based on thorough examination results. Proper diet and avoiding sexual activity are also important.
