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 isn't working. Also, I have some cysts in my epididymis, but there are no other symptoms.Doctor's answer:
Due to the abnormal levels of testosterone, the mesonephric tubules and mesonephric ducts fail to develop or develop incompletely, leading to various types of epididymal malformations. If the development completely ceases in the mesonephric duct, it can result in congenital absence of the epididymis and vas deferens. If development terminates at a specific location, it can cause self-locking in that area. When the epididymal duct twists and coils around an obstacle, it can lead to significant shortening of the epididymis. Repeated occurrence of a loop-shaped epididymal malformation can be reduced with timely treatment. If left untreated, it can affect overall physical condition.
