Patient's question:
This week, I've been feeling lower abdominal pain and testicular pain, and I also feel very bloated. The symptoms get worse after sitting or standing for a long time. Since it's a private area, I feel embarrassed going to the hospital. I suspect it might be varicocele. Please ask: How can varicocele be examined?Doctor's answer:
Generally, the diameter of varicocele is less than 0.2 cm, and a condition of 0.3 cm indicates a more severe varicocele. This condition can easily lead to low male sperm survival rates, poor sperm quality, and infertility. If you have this condition, it is recommended to seek examination and treatment as soon as possible. Surgical ligation of the high spermatic vein should be considered. In daily life, wear loose underwear and pay attention to rest. Wishing you good health. For varicocele patients, timely treatment can reduce the severity of the condition. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and maintain a regular sex life while avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
