Patient's question:
When I was taking a shower, I noticed that one of my testicles is larger than the other, and it seems to be lower on one side. When I touched it, I felt that the veins were particularly prominent, almost like earthworms coiled inside the testicle. Please ask: How is varicocele treated?Doctor's answer:
Based on your age and the description of your condition, you currently have bilateral varicocele. It is unclear whether you are experiencing any discomfort such as scrotal swelling or pain. It is recommended to visit the general surgery outpatient department of a qualified hospital for follow-up when necessary, and to comprehensively evaluate and diagnose the condition based on actual symptoms. If the symptoms are significant, surgical treatment should be considered. For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications, while delayed treatment may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
