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, but there are no other symptoms.Doctor's answer:
Due to abnormal testosterone levels, the mesonephric tubules and mesonephric ducts fail to develop or develop incompletely, leading to various types of epididymal malformations. If the development completely stops in the mesonephric duct, it can result in congenital absence of the epididymis and vas deferens. If development terminates at a specific location, it forms a self-locking structure at that site. When the epididymal duct twists and coils around an obstacle, it can cause significant shortening of the epididymis and recurrent loop-shaped epididymal malformation. The condition of the epididymis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication for maintenance. Additionally, male patients should seek immediate medical attention at professional and reputable hospitals for diagnosis. Treatment should be considered based on the results of thorough examinations.
