Patient's question:
Patients with epididymal malformations have no discomfort. Physical examination, except for a cyst in the head of the epididymis, shows no obvious abnormal signs. These conditions are often diagnosed during surgery for undescended testicles or male infertility. A thorough examination by the doctor revealed that there are generally no clinical diagnostic symptoms. They are mostly discovered during investigations and treatments for male infertility or undescended testicles. It is often associated with vas deferens malformations. What should be done?Doctor's answer:
Prevention of Epididymal Malformation; There are currently no effective preventive measures for this disease in medicine. Early detection and early diagnosis are key to the comprehensive prevention and treatment of this condition. The etiology of the malformation is still unclear, and preventive measures are implemented according to congenital diseases. Prevention of malformations must focus on the early three months of pregnancy; if it is in the later stage of early pregnancy, the fetal organs have already been formed, and malformations rarely occur. However, factors such as syphilis, mercury, and carbon monoxide may also lead to malformations. Therefore, it is better to prevent and treat early. Epididymitis can be relieved, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment.
