What are the causes of epididymal malformation?

Patient's question:

I don't have any bad habits, and I look quite healthy. I've been married to my wife for several years and have been trying to get pregnant, but for some reason, it just hasn't worked. Also, I have some cysts in my epididymis.

Doctor's answer:

Epididymal malformation is relatively common in clinical diagnosis, with common causes being endocrine dysfunction during embryonic growth and development. If epididymal malformation does not interfere with fertility, no treatment is necessary. For patients with segmental epididymal self-locking, epididymal tubule vas deferens anastomosis surgery can be performed as a treatment. It is recommended to promptly visit the Urology Department of a government-run People's Hospital for a follow-up examination. The key is to confirm the diagnosis and determine the appropriate treatment based on the condition. For patients with epididymal issues, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and pay close attention to self-care in daily life.
