Patient's question:
When I was taking a shower, I noticed that my testicles were of uneven size, and one seemed to be lower than the other. When I touched it, the veins appeared to be particularly prominent, almost like earthworms coiled inside the testicle. Please ask: What causes varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele is generally caused by prolonged standing, sitting, frequent intense exercise, and exposure to alternating hot and cold stimuli to the scrotum. It can also be triggered by various stress factors, inflammation of adjacent organs, or other organic conditions. It is recommended that you visit a hospital for a thorough examination to ensure timely treatment and prevent interference with future life or fertility. Currently, focus on dietary nutrition and get adequate rest. Wishing you good health! Varicocele can be stabilized, but the treatment process is usually slow, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with your doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid stimulating foods, and refrain from smoking and drinking beer. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
