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: How can varicocele be diagnosed?Doctor's answer:
If your condition is like this, varicocele has already affected the quality of sperm, and there is no other way except surgery. The main symptom of varicocele is a feeling of heaviness and discomfort in the perineum. In some cases, it may lead to testicular atrophy, which again affects sperm quality and interferes with fertility. The main cause of varicocele is the dysfunction or absence of valves in the spermatic veins. If varicocele has already affected sperm quality, then medication will be ineffective. The only option is surgical treatment, specifically a high ligation of the spermatic vein. Varicocele is prone to recurrence, and long-term medication is required.
