Patient's question:
I am a taxi driver and have been sitting in a small space for a long time, lacking in physical activity. Recently, I noticed some pain in my testicles, and they seem to be of uneven height. Looking at the symptoms, I did some research and suspect it might be varicocele. I would like to ask: How should varicocele be treated?Doctor's answer:
Is varicocele serious? Varicocele is a common disease among young and middle-aged men, most of whom experience local soreness and a heavy sensation. The pain can radiate to the lower abdomen, groin, and waist. Symptoms may alleviate after walking or exertion, and they can be reduced or relieved after rest or lying flat. Varicocele is one of the more common scrotal masses in young people and is also a significant cause of male infertility. In patients with varicocele, sperm count increases, which interferes with conception. After surgical treatment, fertility can be fully restored.
