Patient's question:
Married for two years without children, recent careful examination revealed that the renal tubules did not develop into epididymal tubes but directly differentiated into vas deferens, seminal vesicles, and ejaculatory ducts. The testicular efferent ducts are connected to the vas deferens. What are the good treatment methods for epididymal malformation?Doctor's answer:
Testicular diseases and epididymal diseases both fall under the category of epididymitis. The main pathogenesis of epididymal cysts, according to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), is believed to be lower jiao damp-heat, damaged meridians, and stagnation of qi and blood. In treatment, the primary focus is to enhance blood-activating and blood-stasis-resolving herbs to completely eliminate blood stasis and intestinal obstruction, thereby achieving the goal of completely eliminating the cyst. For the TCM conditioning of epididymal cysts, blood-activating and blood-stasis-resolving formulas and heat-clearing and toxicity-resolving formulas are primarily used. Epididymitis can be cured, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor and appropriate medication are essential during the treatment.
