Patient's question:
Recently, I noticed that my genital area is very painful, and my epididymis has a significant deformation, which makes me feel very uncomfortable. It has affected my usual sexual life, and I feel that the quality of my deep sleep is getting worse, and I also feel very tired. What reliable treatments should be carried out for patients with epididymal deformity?Doctor's answer:
In cases of absence of the epididymis, it cannot be treated directly; the primary focus is on addressing fertility issues. If the patient has normal sperm production in the testes, assisted reproductive technologies can be considered. For patients with cryptorchidism due to epididymal malformations, timely orchiopexy should be performed. The etiology of congenital epididymal malformations remains unclear. The condition of the epididymis tends to be recurrent, requiring long-term medication. Additionally, male patients should actively seek diagnosis at professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on thorough examination results. Furthermore, it is important to quit smoking and drinking and maintain good personal hygiene.
