Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing a prolonged duration of scrotal swelling and pain. Could it be varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele can be divided into three grades: mild, moderate, and severe. Mild cases generally show no obvious symptoms and can be diagnosed through a careful ultrasound examination. Varicocele can lead to infertility and testicular atrophy. It is recommended to conduct a thorough examination to identify the underlying cause, and symptomatic treatment requires careful observation. For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the condition. If left untreated, it may affect overall health.
