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 blood vessels were very prominent, almost like earthworms coiled inside the testicle. Please ask: What are the common treatments for varicocele?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of varicocele are primarily manifested in the following aspects:1. Mental abnormalities: Patients may experience neurotic symptoms such as fatigue, headaches, and hyperesthesia. Some patients may also have sexual dysfunction.
2. No obvious symptoms: The symptoms of the patients may be present or absent, intermittent, and only discovered during examination.
3. Pain: The patient may feel a significant sense of heaviness and fullness in the scrotum or testicles, with the scrotum swollen. When standing, the scrotum and testicles are higher than the healthy side. The surface of the scrotum may show dilatation, appearing like a worm shape.
