Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing persistent or intermittent dull pain, aching, and dull pain in the scrotum, which can radiate to the lower abdomen. After examination, it was found to be varicocele. What are the abnormal symptoms of varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele is a condition in which the veins in the scrotum become weak in men while standing, giving a sensation as if the veins are about to burst. People often describe it as "worms in a bag." In addition to many patients feeling a heavy sensation in the scrotum, it can also cause varying degrees of discomfort in men.When a man suffers from varicocele, mild cases may not cause obvious discomfort, and you might discover you have the condition during a routine health check. However, many men experience a sense of heaviness, swelling, and pain in the scrotum, which may ease after prolonged standing or walking. When discomfort occurs, patients should seek early medical attention at a regular hospital for examination and follow-up.
