Patient's question:
How is epididymal malformation treated? Now I'm constantly overthinking, making this condition seem extremely to me because I don't understand it at all. I feel anxious and can't eat or sleep. What is the best treatment for epididymal malformation?Doctor's answer:
Epididymal anomalies include structures such as epididymal agenesis, segmental self-ligation, and epididymal cysts. Generally, there are no clinical diagnostic symptoms, and they are often discovered during investigations and treatments for male infertility or cryptorchidism surgery. They are frequently associated with vas deferens anomalies. Epididymal anomalies 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.
