Patient's question:
Got epididymal malformation, now I'm constantly overthinking about this disease, making it seem very frightening. I don't understand this condition at all, and it leaves me feeling anxious and unable to eat or sleep. I want to know how to treat epididymal malformation?Doctor's answer:
Epididymal malformation is relatively common in clinical diagnosis, usually referring to a significantly elongated epididymis or abnormal adhesion to the testis. To date, 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 cryptorchidism surgery. They are frequently associated with vas deferens malformations. The size of testicular malformation is related to age. The testis is a vital organ for maintaining male perinatal functions and sexual characteristics. In adult males, both excessively large and small testes can affect fertility.
