Patient's question:
Lately, I've been feeling something's not quite right with my testicles. It seems like one of them is constantly getting smaller. I want to ask if it's normal for the epididymis to shrink. I don't know why this is happening again, but I'm quite worried, especially since I'm still young.Doctor's answer:
Enlargement of the epididymis is abnormal. When the epididymis becomes smaller, it affects male sperm production dysfunction, leading to abnormal sperm, which may result in symptoms such as reduced sperm count or thin sperm. If the epididymis becomes smaller or swollen due to inflammation, it is necessary to seek treatment at a local hospital early. In cases where the epididymis is enlarged or swollen due to inflammation, antibiotic medication can be used for treatment. If it is testicular atrophy, clinical diagnosis may require endocrine regulation methods.
