The scrotal part of the processus vaginalis mostly surrounds the testis to form the tunica vaginalis, although the posterior aspect of the testis that is attached to the epididymis is not covered by the tunica. (medscape.com)
Head of the epididymis1
while the posterior tubules are represented by the ductuli aberrantes, and by the paradidymis, which is sometimes found in front of the spermatic cord above the head of the epididymis. (wikipedia.org)
Testes5
PL: epididymides /ɛpɪdɪˈdɪmədiːz/ or /ɛpɪˈdɪdəmɪdiːz/) is an elongated tubular structure attached to the posterior side of each one of the two male reproductive glands, the testes. (wikipedia.org)
The team points out, however, that even if the virus cannot replicate in the male reproductive system, it may persist, possibly resulting from the privileged immunity of testes. (medtelligence.net)
Hence, in this procedure, the surgeon will directly attach the end of the vas to the epididymis (sperm-producing tissues and cells in the male reproductive organs, testes). (vasectomyreversal-nyc.com)
Appendix of the epi1
Persistence of the cranial end of the mesonephric duct will leave behind a remnant called the appendix of the epididymis. (wikipedia.org)
Swelling and tenderness that persist after completing antimicrobial therapy should be evaluated for testicular cancer and tuberculous or fungal epididymitis. (cdc.gov)

The external genitals should be inspected and palpated for signs of inflammation (erythema, mass, tenderness), particularly along the course of the epididymis. (msdmanuals.com)
Testicles1
If the pain persists for several hours or days, you may have an infection in the testicles, prostate, or epididymis, or you may have contracted sexually transmitted diseases. (manmatters.com)
Infection5

Testicle2
Dr B notes "Left testicular pain persists, lump adherent to upper pole" and he refers the patient for an ultrasound investigation of the testicle and issues a further prescription of the antibiotic ciprofloxacin. (mddus.com)
The lower part of the mesonephric duct disappears, while the upper part persists as the longitudinal duct of the epoöphoron, called Gartner's duct. (wikipedia.org)
There are also developments of other tissues from the mesonephric duct that persist, e.g. the development of the suspensory ligament of the ovary. (wikipedia.org)
Symptoms5
If symptoms worsen or persist despite conservative treatment, it is important to have the cyst evaluated by a physician to rule out any other possible causes. (myallamericanhospice.com)
If symptoms persist, seek professional medical attention. (abchomeopathy.com)

Unlike acute post-surgical pain that can last two to four weeks, PVPS symptoms can persist for months or even years after completion of the vasectomy. (ezvasectomy.com)
Appendices1
Etiologically, secondary inflammatory changes caused by the complete or incomplete torsion of testicular or epididymis appendices or by the existence of stones in the tunica sac might be responsible for the pain. (hindawi.com)
If the diagnosis is unclear and testicular torsion cannot be ruled out, or if pain persists, surgical exploration is warranted. (medscape.com)
