📖 What is an Epididymectomy?
The epididymis is a coiled tube on the back of each testicle. It stores sperm and carries them to the vas deferens. It can become inflamed (epididymitis) from infection, tuberculosis or after a vasectomy or other scrotal surgery. In most men this settles with antibiotics and rest, but in some it causes long-lasting pain, repeated infections, swelling, abscess or cysts.
Epididymectomy is an operation to remove all or part of the epididymis through a small cut in the scrotum, while keeping the testicle. The testicle continues to make testosterone normally. Removing the epididymis on one side blocks sperm from that side, so men who want more children should discuss fertility before surgery, especially if both sides are affected.
🖼️ Understand It in Pictures
💡 In simple words
Epididymectomy is an operation to remove the epididymis, the coiled tube behind the testicle. It may be advised for long-lasting pain, repeated infections, or cysts and lumps, when other treatments have not helped. The testicle is kept.

🎬 The Treatment Journey in Pictures
📅 Recovery at a Glance
🩺 Conditions Treated
😣
Chronic epididymitis
Pain lasting more than 6 weeks that does not settle with medicines.
🔁
Recurrent epididymitis
Repeated infections in the same epididymis.
🦠
Tuberculous epididymitis
TB of the epididymis not responding to TB medicines, or with abscess or sinus.
🫧
Large epididymal cysts / spermatocele
Painful or large fluid cysts near the testicle.
✂️
Post-vasectomy pain syndrome
Ongoing pain after vasectomy linked to the epididymis.
🎗️
Epididymal tumours
Rare growths, usually benign (adenomatoid tumour), removed for diagnosis.
⚠️ Symptoms That May Need Epididymectomy
- ➤Ongoing pain in one testicle
- ➤Tender lump behind the testicle
- ➤Swelling of the scrotum
- ➤Pain worse on sitting or exercise
- ➤Repeated scrotal infections
- ➤Discharge or sinus from the scrotum
- ➤Pain spreading to groin or lower abdomen
- ➤Pain after a vasectomy
💡 Surgery is not the first treatment. Acute epididymitis is treated with antibiotics, rest, scrotal support and pain relief. Chronic pain is first treated with anti-inflammatory medicines, nerve-pain medicines, pelvic floor physiotherapy and nerve blocks. TB epididymitis is treated with 6 months of TB medicines. Surgery is advised when these fail or when there is an abscess, sinus or a suspicious lump.
🔬 Tests Before Treatment
| Test | Why it is done |
|---|---|
| Scrotal ultrasound with Doppler | Shows the epididymis, cysts, abscess and blood flow to the testicle. |
| Urine routine and culture | Looks for infection. |
| Urethral swab / STI tests | Checks for chlamydia or gonorrhoea in younger men. |
| TB tests (urine AFB, GeneXpert, IGRA) | Detects tuberculosis when suspected. |
| Semen analysis (if fertility matters) | Records fertility before surgery. |
| Blood tests and ECG | Fitness for anaesthesia. |
| Spermatic cord block test | A numbing injection – if pain goes away, surgery is more likely to help. |
🏥 The Procedure — Step by Step
1
Consultation
The urologist examines you, reviews scans and explains benefits and fertility effects.
2
Pre-surgery tests
Blood tests, urine culture and ECG.
3
Anaesthesia
Spinal or general anaesthesia; you feel no pain.
4
Scrotal incision
A 3–5 cm cut is made in the scrotum.
5
Exposing the testicle
The testicle and epididymis are gently brought out.
6
Removing the epididymis
The epididymis is separated from the testicle, preserving its blood supply.
7
Tying the vas
The vas deferens is tied and cut.
8
Closure
Bleeding is controlled and the wound closed with dissolving stitches; tissue sent for testing.
9
Recovery & discharge
Scrotal support and ice packs; discharge after 1 day.
⚖️ Types & Techniques
| Technique | What is done | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Total epididymectomy | Whole epididymis removed | Chronic pain, TB, recurrent infection |
| Partial epididymectomy | Only the diseased part (head or tail) removed | Localised cysts or tumours |
| Bilateral epididymectomy | Both sides removed | Disease on both sides (causes infertility) |
| Spermatocelectomy | Cyst removed, epididymis kept | Large spermatocele with fertility wishes |
| Microsurgical denervation (alternative) | Nerves of the cord cut under microscope, organs kept | Chronic pain without clear epididymal disease |
📊 Published series report good pain relief after epididymectomy in about 75–90% of men with localised epididymal pain, with better results when pain is clearly limited to the epididymis (NCBI StatPearls: Epididymitis; Journal of Urology series).

🩹 Risks & Possible Complications
Like any medical procedure, this treatment carries some risks. Your specialist will explain them in detail before treatment:
- •Scrotal swelling and bruising (common, settles in 1–2 weeks)
- •Blood collection in the scrotum (haematoma), about 2–5%
- •Wound infection (about 2–5%)
- •Persistent or recurring pain (about 10–25%)
- •Reduced fertility on the operated side
- •Rarely, damage to the testicle's blood supply causing shrinkage

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
➤ How much does epididymectomy cost in India?
One-sided epididymectomy costs about USD 1,600 with a 1-day stay. Both sides cost about USD 2,400.
➤ How long will I stay in India?
About 5–7 days: tests, surgery, 1 day in hospital and a wound check before flying home.
➤ Will the surgery affect my testosterone or sex life?
No. The testicle stays, so testosterone, erections and sexual feeling are not affected.
➤ Will it affect fertility?
Removing one epididymis blocks sperm from that side; the other side usually keeps fertility. Removing both sides causes infertility, so discuss sperm banking first.
➤ Is it painful?
Pain is controlled with tablets. Ice packs and a scrotal support help with swelling for a few days.
➤ How successful is it for chronic pain?
About 75–90% of carefully selected men have good pain relief. Results are best when pain is clearly in the epididymis.
➤ When can I return to work?
Desk work in about a week; heavy work and sport after 3–4 weeks.
➤ What are the risks?
Swelling, bruising, infection, blood collection and sometimes ongoing pain. Damage to the testicle is rare.
➤ Are there alternatives to surgery?
Yes: antibiotics, anti-inflammatory and nerve-pain medicines, physiotherapy, nerve blocks and microsurgical cord denervation.
➤ What if I have TB of the epididymis?
TB medicines for 6 months are the main treatment. Surgery is added if there is an abscess, sinus or no improvement.
➤ Can a family member come with me?
Yes. Satyug Healthcare provides visa invitation letters for you and an attendant.
➤ What follow-up is needed at home?
A wound check after 1–2 weeks with your local doctor and a review of the histopathology report online.
➤ Will I have an interpreter?
Yes. Free interpreters for Arabic, French and Portuguese (plus English) are provided.
