Patient's question:
In patients where the mesonephric tubules and mesonephric ducts fail to develop or develop incompletely, various types of epididymal malformations can occur. If the mesonephric duct fails to develop at all, it may lead to congenital absence of the epididymis and vas deferens. If growth terminates at a particular location, it results in self-locking at that site. When the epididymal duct twists and coils around an obstruction, it can again lead to significant shortening of the epididymis and recurrent growth loop-shaped epididymal malformation. How should this be treated?Doctor's answer:
Epididymal deformity requires quitting smoking, alcohol, and stimulant beverages like coffee. It is advisable to minimize the consumption of spicy and irritating foods, such as: onions, peppers, chili peppers, cloves, mustard greens, and fennel. Epididymitis can be relieved, but the treatment period is usually long, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, it is recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle and follow a proper diet during the treatment period. We hope male patients can recover as soon as possible!
