What is the normal size of the head of the epididymis on ultrasound?

Patient's question:

Today I had an ultrasound examination of the head of the epididymis. The results are now available. How big is a normal epididymis head on ultrasound?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to the situation you described: The size of the color Doppler ultrasound examination of the head of the epididymis in adults is about 1.2 cm. If swelling and pain occur again with a size smaller than the normal value, it is mostly due to the occurrence of acute inflammation, and sensitive antibiotics should be used in a timely manner. Through oral anti-inflammatory treatment, after the inflammation is completely resolved, the size and shape of the testicles will generally return to normal.
