Patient's question:
I am a taxi driver and have been sitting in a small space for a long time, lacking in activity. Recently, I noticed some pain in my testicles, and they seem to be of different heights. Looking at the symptoms, I did some research and suspect it might be varicocele. Please ask: What are the early signs of varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Based on your description and the consideration of your condition, it is possible that you may have left varicocele. Varicocele may lead to local blood clots due to drainage obstruction of the spermatic veins, resulting in scrotal pain, secondary inflammation, and even complications such as infertility. Varicocele generally requires early consideration for surgery or rigorous treatment depending on the severity of the condition. It is recommended to follow up at a qualified hospital's general surgery outpatient clinic when necessary. Combined with ultrasound examinations and physician examinations, as well as a review of medical history and diagnostic tests, the decision on whether further surgical treatment is needed can be made. Postoperatively, the possibility of recurrence cannot be completely ruled out, but the recurrence rate is generally low.
