Patient's question:
How to treat epididymal malformation well, now I'm constantly overthinking, making myself think this disease is extremely frightening because I don't understand it at all. I feel anxious and can't eat or sleep. How can I better treat epididymal malformation?Doctor's answer:
Epididymal malformations include structural abnormalities such as epididymal agenesis, segmental self-ligation, and epididymal cysts. Generally, there are no clinical diagnostic symptoms, and they are often discovered during male infertility investigations or orchiopexy surgery. They are frequently associated with vas deferens malformations. Epididymal malformations do not affect fertility and do not require treatment unless they do. Segmental epididymal self-ligation can be treated through epididymal-vas deferens anastomosis. Under a surgical microscope magnified 10 to 20 times, two methods of epididymal-vas deferens anastomosis are used. Epididymal head cysts can be treated with aspiration and anesthesia, but this method is less safe and reliable than surgical treatment.
