Patient's question:
I and my wife have always wanted a child, but because I have epididymal malformation, my wife has never been pregnant. Both of us are very worried now and want to quickly treat my epididymal malformation. How can it be effectively controlled?Doctor's answer:
Epididymal malformation does not require treatment if it does not affect fertility. Segmental epididymal self-locking can be treated by epididymal tubule vas deferens anastomosis. Epididymal head cysts can be treated with aspiration under anesthesia and sclerotherapy, but due to a high recurrence rate, this method is less safe and reliable compared to surgical methods and is rarely used. Epididymal absence can be relieved, but the treatment cycle is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medication should be used symptomatically during treatment. Additionally, it is recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle and have a proper diet during the treatment period.
