Patient's question:
I found that I have an epididymal abnormality during a health check-up. The epididymis is abnormally adhered to the testicle, with the right epididymal tail attached to the testicle. Both testicles are of normal size and shape. The doctor said the left one is normal and there is nothing to worry about, but I still feel uncomfortable. What are the correct treatment methods for epididymal abnormality?Doctor's answer:
Testicular malformation may be caused by various septicemia factors leading to testicular inflammation, which can be classified into non-specific types. Non-specific orchitis is often caused by epididymal tuberculosis affecting the testicles and is very rare. In clinical diagnosis, non-specific orchitis and mumps orchitis are commonly seen, and they are one of the common causes of male infertility. The size of testicular malformation is related to age. The testicles are important organs for maintaining male perinatal function and sexual characteristics. In adult males, both excessively large and small testicles can affect fertility. For those who have been married for more than ten years without children, it should be given due attention.
