Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with varicocele. I would like to know, what are the symptoms of varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele can be divided into three grades: mild, moderate, and severe.1. Grade 1—When standing, dilated veins are not visible on the scrotal skin, but dilated veins can be felt inside the scrotum. When lying down, the dilated veins disappear quickly.
2. Grade 2—When standing, dilated veins are visible on the scrotum. Dilated veins can be felt inside the scrotum, and the swelling gradually disappears when lying down.
3. Grade 3—The scrotal surface has prominent large blood vessels. Inside the scrotum, there are obvious worm-like dilated veins with thickened and hardened vein walls. When lying down, the veins disappear slowly.
