Patient's question:
I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said I have an epididymal malformation. Now I'm constantly overthinking and imagining this disease to be extremelyDoctor's answer:
So far, there is no precise definition or established classification method. Epididymal malformations include structural abnormalities such as epididymal agenesis, segmental self-locking, 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. The size of testicular malformations is related to age. The testes are vital organs for maintaining male perinatal functions and sexual characteristics. In adult males, both excessively large and small testes can affect fertility. For those who have been married for over ten years without children, this should be given particular attention.
