Patient's question:
I feel that my brother's health isn't very good, and I care about helping him. My brother has been diagnosed with testicular torsion. He has had a thorough physical examination, and the diagnosis has been confirmed. Now, he is preparing for surgical treatment. Usually, he doesn't feel any discomfort.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, the mesonephric tubules and mesonephric ducts may fail to develop or develop incompletely, leading to various types of epididymal malformations. If the mesonephric duct fails to develop at all, it can result in congenital absence of the epididymis and vas deferens. During treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor and take medication appropriately. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink beer.
