Patient's question:
I think I might have varicocele. I feel that one of my testicles is higher than the other, and it hurts a lot. I can feel the pain even when I walk. Because of work, I have to walk a lot every day, which really brings me a lot of pain. Please ask: What are the initial symptoms of varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Generally, varicocele does not present with clinical symptoms. Some individuals may feel cord-like or earthworm-like dilated veins in the scrotum. If a diagnosis of varicocele is needed, an MRI is required for confirmation. Varicocele typically requires surgical treatment to prevent the swelling of the testicle and symptoms of infertility. Varicocele can be relieved, but the treatment process is usually slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medication should be used symptomatically during treatment, and patients should maintain a light diet, avoid stimulating foods, and not smoke or drink beer. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
