A member asked:
Is it common for long term complications or pain to result from a full epididymectomy? or is the procedure considered safe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Low grade pain.: There should be little problem especially if this is to treat epididymitis. The procedure is safe and no long term complication as usual. There is always a small chance but most of the time people do well.
