Patient's question:
When I was taking a shower, I noticed that one of my testicles is much larger than the other, and it seems to be lower on one side. When I touched it, I felt that the veins were very prominent, almost like earthworms coiled inside the testicle. Please ask: What are the late symptoms of varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Based on your description and the consideration of your condition, it is possible that you may have varicocele. Varicocele may lead to local blood clots due to impaired drainage of the spermatic veins, resulting in pain in the scrotum, secondary inflammation, and even infertility, among other complications. I am not sure if you currently have any obvious discomfort symptoms.Varicocele generally requires early consideration of surgery or aggressive treatment depending on the severity of the condition. It is recommended to follow up at a qualified hospital's general surgery outpatient department. After a comprehensive evaluation of your condition, including ultrasound examination, physical examination by the physician, and medical history, the doctor will determine whether further surgical treatment is necessary.
Wishing you good health!
