Patient's question:
Director, I have been with our county hospital for more than 4 years after bilateral varicocele surgery. The testicles, spermatic cord, and waist often hurt. The pain worsens with the weather, and the spermatic cord has thickened. What is going on? When I went for a re-examination, they said everything was fine.Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, a comprehensive analysis is conducted; the cause of the pain may be related to surgical muscle tissue trauma, referred pain, or adhesions. Additionally, there may be possibilities of conditions such as varicocele or chronic orchitis. If it is inflammation, oral anti-inflammatory medication can be taken to alleviate symptoms. If the pain does not subside or gradually worsens, surgery may be a viable option. Local cold compresses and physical therapy can also be applied. It is advisable to avoid prolonged standing or sitting, as well as alcohol consumption.Since I cannot examine you in person, a full understanding of the condition is limited. To further clarify the diagnosis, you should visit a private tertiary hospital for a thorough and detailed examination. Based on your symptoms and physical findings, the doctor will recommend clinical diagnostic tests to identify the underlying cause and provide targeted treatment.
