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 degrees: mild, moderate, and severe.1 degree -- 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 degree -- 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 degree -- The scrotal surface has obvious large blood vessels. The scrotum contains visible worm-like dilated veins, with thickened and hardened vein walls. When lying down, the veins disappear slowly.
