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 should I do about varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele often recurs in young and middle-aged adults. For those without obvious symptoms, a scrotal support can be used to slow the progression of the condition. Surgical treatment should be considered for those with significant symptoms or abnormal sperm, especially for those with fertility requirements. Varicocele tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. Additionally, male patients should actively seek diagnosis in professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on thorough examination results. It is also important to moderate sexual activity and maintain a positive mood. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
