Patient's question:
How is the treatment for epididymal malformation? Now I'm constantly overthinking, and I've made this disease seem extremely frightening because I understand nothing about it. I feel anxious and can't eat or sleep. Here, I hope for your help, to provide detailed and professional assistance in clarifying this disease and explaining how it can be treated well?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 affect fertility, no treatment is necessary. Segmental epididymal self-ligation can be treated through epididymal-vas deferens anastomosis. The epididymis can be stabilized, but the treatment period is usually long, and recurrence is common after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's medication plan is essential during treatment.
