Patient's question:
How is the treatment for epididymal malformation? Now I'm constantly overthinking, making this condition seem extremely frightening to me because I have no understanding of the disease. I feel anxious and can't eat or sleep. I hope for detailed and professional clarification on this condition and how to treat it well?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 can 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.
