Patient's question:
Left testicle has a sense of fullness and pain. After drinking water, there is a frequent need to urinate for a short time. 5 days ago, I went to the urology department of the hospital to see a doctor. At the same time, blood tests and a detailed examination of the reproductive organs were performed. Now, I am constantly overthinking and imagining this disease as extremely. How should I handle the discovery of an ectopic testicle?Doctor's answer:
Testicular malformations may be caused by various septic factors leading to testicular inflammatory diseases, which can be classified into non-specific, viral, fungal, spirochetal, parasitic, traumatic, chemical, and other types. Epididymal head cysts can be treated with aspiration and anesthetic, but due to a high recurrence rate, this method is less safe and reliable compared to surgical methods and is rarely used now. In cases of epididymal absence, treatment is not possible, and the main issue is addressing fertility problems. If the patient's testicular spermatogenesis function is normal, assisted perinatal treatment can be performed. In cases where epididymal malformations are associated with cryptorchidism, timely orchiopexy should be performed.
