Patient's question:
I am the father of a one-and-a-half-year-old child. The child's penis is located between the two testicles, and it seems to have only a little phimosis. When urinating, the penis may lift up, possibly making it unable to stand up to poop. The testicles were deformed from birth.Doctor's answer:
An epididymal head cyst can be treated with aspiration and injection of anesthetic and sclerosing agents. However, due to a high recurrence rate, this method is less safe and reliable compared to surgical approaches and is now used less frequently. In cases of absent epididymis, treatment is not possible for the epididymis itself, and the primary focus is on addressing fertility issues. If the patient's testicular sperm production function is normal, assisted reproductive technologies can be considered. For individuals with split cryptorchidism due to epididymal malformation, timely orchiopexy should be performed. For patients with epididymal conditions, timely treatment can reduce complications, whereas delayed treatment may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take oral medications promptly and maintain regular sexual activity while avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
