A member asked:
Is the head of the epididymis supposed to feel harder than the other parts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Epididymis: The epididymis is the confluence of sperm tubes at the base of the testicle. It should not be hard or tender. If you have had a vasectomy, you will often feel a firm knot in the cord up higher, however.

When feeling left testicle, the top of the epididymis (epididymis head) moves around as if it is not attached to the testicle. No pain unless Im touching/moving it and the epididymis feels more prominent than the other one. Paranoid or is it normal?
