Patient's question:
Doctor, I have been experiencing testicular pain and itching recently. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, I was diagnosed with orchitis. It was also found that my testicles are drooping. How should this be treated?Doctor's answer:
It could be varicocele, as the left spermatic vein drains at a right angle into the renal vein, which makes it prone to varicocele. This can lead to a sense of fullness and pain in the left groin area, radiating to the perineum, and the left scrotum may appear curved when standing. There is no effective non-surgical treatment; surgery is generally recommended, typically involving high ligation of the spermatic vein. Varicocele can easily cause abnormal testicular function, leading to infertility. Wishing you good health.
