Patient's question:
It has been five years since we haven't been able to conceive, and our family members find it quite strange. They insisted that we undergo a thorough medical examination, which revealed that my husband has epididymal malformation, specifically an epididymal head cyst. The doctor said this condition is the cause of our infertility. What are the main methods for treating epididymal malformation?Doctor's answer:
The epididymis becomes hardened due to long-term inflammation. During sexual intercourse when reaching orgasm and ejaculation, the epididymis and vas deferens contract to expel sperm, which can cause pain to reappear. At times, the pain may persist for a while after intercourse. Impaired semen quality and kidney deficiency can lead to premature aging. If epididymitis is not treated effectively for a prolonged period, it may result in impaired semen quality, kidney deficiency, depletion of vital energy, limb coldness, lower back and back pain, and premature aging. It may also lead to dangerous diseases. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene.
