Patient's question:
Hello, I am 18 years old. I have a right epididymal cyst, which has already been surgically removed. The doctor said it has little impact on the epididymis. I would like to ask, after the surgery, has the function of my right testicle and epididymis been completely lost, or has it weakened compared to before? Will this affect fertility!Doctor's answer:
If the testicles are the factories that produce sperm, then the epididymal sac is the warehouse that stores the finished sperm. If there's a problem with your warehouse, wouldn't that affect the finished sperm? This answer should be easier for you to understand. There are many reasons that can cause swelling of the epididymal sac, such as excessive sexual activity, wearing tight pants for a long time, and sexually transmitted infections.
