Patient's question:
Nowadays, I'm constantly overthinking, imagining this epididymal abnormality as something extremely frightening. This is because I have no understanding of the disease at all, and my mind is always filled with anxiety, making it hard for me to eat or sleep. How should patients with epididymal abnormality be treated correctly?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. Additionally, proper diet and sexual activity should be avoided.
