Patient's question:
I've been married for two years and haven't had any children. I went to the hospital to see a doctor for a thorough examination. A few days later, the examination results came back, and the doctor said it was due to an epididymal malformation. What are the treatment methods for epididymal malformation?Doctor's answer:
The patient has infertility caused by a hydrocele of the head of the epididymis. During treatment, the available method is to puncture, aspirate, and inject an anesthetic hardening agent. However, it should be noted that this treatment method has a high recurrence rate and is less safe and reliable compared to surgical treatment. Therefore, it is used less frequently in clinical diagnosis. Additionally, early detection and early treatment are important. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the severity of the condition. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take oral medication promptly and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life to avoid prolonged sitting.
