Patient's question:
It has been five years since we haven't been able to get pregnant, and our family members feel very strange about it. They insisted that we get a thorough medical check-up, which revealed that my husband has an epididymal abnormality—a head cyst of the epididymis. The doctor said this condition is the cause of our infertility. What are the effective methods for treating epididymal abnormalities?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 semen, which can cause pain again. Sometimes, the pain may persist for a while after intercourse. Impaired semen quality and kidney deficiency leading to premature aging. The epididymis can recover, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, it is recommended to adopt a healthy lifestyle and maintain a proper diet during the treatment period.
