Patient's question:
I don't have any bad habits, and I look quite healthy. I've been married to my wife for several years and have been trying to get pregnant, but for some reason, it just hasn't worked. Also, I have a bit of a cyst in my epididymis, but I don't have any other symptoms. The doctor said that infertility is caused by a malformation of the epididymis. What are the causes of epididymal malformation?Doctor's answer:
The etiology of epididymal malformation is still unclear. Since patients with cryptorchidism often have epididymal malformation, its recurrence may be related to endocrine dysfunction during embryonic growth and development. Due to excessively high testosterone levels, mesonephric tubules and mesonephric ducts fail to develop or develop incompletely, leading to various types of epididymal malformation. Patients should follow a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink beer. It is hoped that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
