Patient's question:
Left testicle has a sense of fullness and pain. There is a frequent need to urinate shortly after drinking water. 5 days ago, I went to the urology department of the hospital to see a doctor. At the same time, blood tests and a detailed examination of the reproductive organs were conducted. The results of the examination have not come out yet. How can the best treatment for epididymal malformation be achieved?Doctor's answer:
Epididymal malformations include structural abnormalities such as epididymal agenesis, segmental self-ligation, and epididymal cysts. Generally, there are no clinical diagnostic symptoms, and they are often discovered during investigations and treatments for male infertility or cryptorchidism surgery. They are frequently associated with vas deferens malformations. Epididymal malformations do not affect fertility and do not require treatment unless they do. Segmental epididymal self-ligation can be treated through epididymal-vas deferens anastomosis. Timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the condition, while delayed treatment may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
