Patient's question:
Doctor, I've had testicular pain for a while. I went for a check-up and was told I have varicocele. What are the symptoms of varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Mild cases may be asymptomatic, while severe cases may involve testicular enlargement, a heavy and distended sensation, and discomfort. In severe cases, it may even interfere with sperm quality, leading to infertility. For mild cases, simply using a scrotal support or wearing loose-fitting underwear may suffice. For severe cases with abnormal sperm, surgery may be required. Varicocele can be relieved, but the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor, take medication appropriately, and maintain a light diet, avoiding spicy foods, smoking, and drinking beer. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
