What causes epididymal malformation?

Patient's question:

How is the treatment for epididymal malformation? Now, I'm constantly overthinking, and I've made this disease seem incredibly

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 absence, 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 vas deferens malformations. The size of testicular malformation is related to age. The testis is a vital organ for maintaining male perinatal function and sexual characteristics. In adult males, both excessively large and small testes can interfere with fertility.
