Patient's question:
How is epididymal malformation treated? I'm now thinking about everything every day and have made this disease seem very frightening to myself because I don't understand this condition at all. I always feel anxious and can't eat or sleep. What are the causes of epididymal malformation?Doctor's answer:
Epididymal malformations include structural abnormalities such as epididymal agenesis, segmental self-ligation, and epididymal cysts. Generally, there are no clinical diagnostic symptoms, and they are often discovered during investigations and treatments for male infertility or cryptorchidism surgery. They are frequently associated with vas deferens malformations. If epididymal malformations do not interfere with fertilization, no treatment is necessary. Segmental epididymal self-ligation can be treated through epididymal-vas deferens anastomosis. Under a surgical microscope magnified 10 to 20 times, two methods of epididymal-vas deferens anastomosis are employed.
