Patient's question:
Doctor, I am 17 years old. I only know that the testicles are very important for boys, but I also heard that the epididymis is also very important for boys. This makes me very curious. I have seen the shape of the testicles in my biology book, so what is the shape of the epididymis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your condition, generally speaking, the epididymis is located above the testicles. It is a cord-like structure that is closely attached to the testicles. Its shape is irregular, similar to a rope, with a slightly larger head. If you are not a professional, it is best to avoid touching it to prevent recurrence of swelling or bleeding. If you think there is a problem, you can have an ultrasound to check for any abnormalities in the scrotum. Pay attention to avoiding prolonged sitting in your daily life.
