Does orchidopexy affect fertility?

Patient's question:

After getting the disease of epididymal malformation, I have undergone some detailed examinations and treatments, tried all methods, but still haven't had children. I don't know if this has such a great impact on infertility. I'm fine, checked, and really want a child. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

An epididymal cyst removal surgery, if the epididymis is not damaged, does not affect fertility. There are several reasons that can cause epididymal cyst swelling, such as excessive sexual activity, wearing tight pants, and prolonged sitting. Solutions can be found based on the cause of the swelling, such as drinking more hot water and freeing the testicles (taking some anti-inflammatory medication can resolve the issue). There is no need to worry about sexual life and fertility. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If it is not treated in a timely manner, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take oral medication promptly and avoid overexertion in daily life, while also paying attention to personal hygiene.
