Question 1

a new lump appearednear my left ductus deferens. what could this be?

Accepted Answer

A few things,: But the most likely cause is a epididymal cyst. I'd get it evaluated, especially if it is painful, inflamed, or enlarging. Though there are many causes of lumps in the scrotum, the proximity to vas deferens makes it likely a cyst or spermatocele. I recommend that you see your physician for evaluation, at which point the need for a scrotal ultrasound can be determined.

Question 2

does ductus deferens attach to urethra or prostate gland?

Accepted Answer

Prostate: It enters through the prostate. Remember the prostate is like a donut. The donut hole is part of the urethra, called the prostatic urethra.

Question 3

i have what feels like a rough mass around my vas deferens of my left testical. i have noticed slight discomfrt from yesterday. could it be cancerous?

Accepted Answer

Testicle mass: If you are feeling a testicle mass, you should have that evaluated with your pcp.  It can be anything from a small clot, to spermatocele, to tumor.

Question 4

i have varicocele on the left testes, and mild obstructive changes of the right vas deferens 
what is the steps to solve these problems?

Accepted Answer

Get checked: Varicocele  mild obstructive right vas deferens are male factors for infertility, and would require surgical treatment if they were believed to be causing abnormalities of your semen. The surgical treatment may improve the quality of your semen, but it is unclear if or whether it would increase  your chances of conceiving. Hope that helps.

Question 5

my left vas deferens is a little bigger than my right when i inspect it while laying down but when i stand up it becomes even bigger is it a problem?

Accepted Answer

Not vas deferens: You can't feel the vas deferens as it is a small diameter tube. You may be feeling the epididymis which lies next to the testicle and can vary somewhat in size from one side to the other. Lastly, dilated veins in the scrotum, benign and called a varicocele, can produce a palpable abnormality that varies in size depending on position. All of these are benign.

Question 6

my left vas deferens tube is swollen, right one is skinny. what's the cause, is it life threatening?

Accepted Answer

No: Nothing you describe is life threatening.Swelling of the vas  deferens is usually part of prostatitis and epididymitis.However,you need to be physically examined and not try to self diagnose. Please see your doctor for physical examanation, diagnosis and appropriate treatment.Good luck.

Question 7

masturbated and during & after ejaculation, both sides vas deferens swells & tenders when touched. it gets normal after 15 mins. what it could be?

Accepted Answer

Normal: its a normal skin irritation results from friction ,mild skin cream would help.

Question 8

what is purpose of anastomosis between the epididymus and the vas deferens?

Accepted Answer

Fertility: Performed to correct blockage of vas deferens, usually following vasectomy, or epididymal duct. Obstruction to permit passage of sperm. Procedure bypasses obstruction, experts at micro-reconstructive urology believe procure has higher success rate for reanastomosis than vasovasostomy vasectomy reversal.

Question 9

are there ways to detect whether the vas deferens near the ampulla is blocked by scars?

Accepted Answer

I believe: the development of MR (magnetic resonance) imaging has enabled the visualization of the vas deferens (there are two). The most natural abnormality of a vas is non-development/lack of it. Or, scarring could have resulted from a surgical procedure to cut them blocking sperm movement, i.e. a vasectomy.  I'm not sure what the indication is for detecting this, but I'm certain your Urologist can help.

Question 10

what can cause vas deferens/epididymis to not work properly after even the infection has recovered?

Accepted Answer

Here are some....: Yes, it is possible, but how this concern may apply to personal clinical profile in a sensible way should hinge on the clinical concern such as the issues of infertility, genitourinary symptoms, etc. Note: Our body has a strong healing ability to return its functional state in a great degree, though never be perfect as that at birth since life is a one-way street of accumulation, modification,...
