Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. Three years ago, I had a check-up at the hospital and the doctor said I had epididymal tuberculosis and recommended surgery. But I was afraid and never had it done. In these three years, I haven't felt anything. I want to ask if there are any effects.Doctor's answer:
Disease Analysis: Early epididymal tuberculosis can be cured with medication.Medical Advice: Early epididymal tuberculosis can be cured with medication. If the local dry gangrenous necrosis is severe, involves the testis, the lesion is large with abscess formation, or the medication is ineffective, epididymectomy may be performed. If the testis is affected and the lesion is close to the epididymis, the testis can be partially removed along with the epididymis. During surgery, the testis should be preserved as much as possible. After epididymectomy, the seminal vesicle and prostate tuberculosis can often heal gradually.
