A member asked:
Can the epididymis be removed from one testicle if it causes chronic pain? if its removed what are the side effects
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Epidiymal surgery: The short answer to your question is yes, the epididymis can be removed from one testicle. However, the true concern is what is causing the pain, as in some instances, removing the epididymis may not make the pain go away. You should have a complete evaluation by a urologist to find the source of the pain, and find out what the options for treatment are.
