Patient's question:
I have never smoked or drunk beer, and my health has always been good. However, after being married for several years, I haven't had a wife or children. So we went to the hospital for a thorough check-up. The result was that I had developed epididymal malformation. How serious is it to have epididymal malformation?Doctor's answer:
Orchiopexy is relatively common in clinical diagnosis, usually referring to significant elongation of the epididymis or abnormal adhesion to the testis. To date, there is no precise definition or established classification method. Epididymal abnormalities include structural anomalies 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 inguinal hernia surgery. They are frequently associated with vasal anomalies. For patients with epididymal conditions, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take oral medications promptly and avoid overexertion in daily life.
