Patient's question:
I have been married to my wife for five years. Previously, because I was quite busy with work, I never really thought about having a baby. Our sex life was also quite natural, and we never intentionally took any measures for breastfeeding. However, after five years, we still haven't gotten pregnant. Our family members found it quite strange and insisted that we get a thorough medical check-up. It turned out that my husband has a condition called epididymal anomaly, specifically an epididymal head cyst. What should we do?Doctor's answer:
The causes of epididymal malformation, during the 6th week of embryonic development, the mesonephric ducts and paramesonephric ducts are formed. These ducts will differentiate into male and female reproductive tracts. The cranial part of the mesonephric duct becomes the epididymal head, formed by the testicular efferent ductules derived from the mesonephric tubules, and the epididymal duct coiled and twisted below it. The remaining epididymal ducts form the body and tail of the epididymis. For male patients, it is important to seek professional and regular medical treatment promptly. Treatment should be considered based on the results of a thorough examination. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should be maintained to prevent further complications.
