What are the symptoms of varicocele? How is it treated?

Patient's question:

During a health check-up at my workplace, I found out I have varicocele. But I don't feel any discomfort. What are the symptoms of varicocele?

Doctor's answer:

Varicocele is a common disease in men, with the main symptoms including:
1. A heavy, aching sensation in the scrotum.
2. Localized dampness and itching in the scrotum.
3. Localized lumps in the scrotum, with testicles of different sizes, where one testicle's surface forms a worm-like lump.
If you experience scrotal dampness of unknown cause, scrotal swelling and pain, or infertility after marriage, it is important to seek medical attention promptly to rule out the possibility of varicocele.
