Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing some pain in the groin area or lower back. The symptoms worsen after exertion or prolonged standing and during walking. Please advise on varicocele.Doctor's answer:
Varicocele often recurs in young and middle-aged adults. Mild inflammation may not cause obvious symptoms, while severe inflammation can manifest as a dull ache or a sense of heaviness and fullness in the affected scrotum. Varicocele can affect sperm development, leading to infertility. For those without obvious symptoms, scrotal suspension can be used to slow the progression of the condition. Surgical treatment should be considered for those with significant symptoms or abnormal sperm, especially for those with fertility requirements. For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and avoid overexertion in daily life, paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
