What should I do if there is hidden pain in the testicles again?

Patient's question:

I recently had pain in my testicles and they were also itchy. I went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with orchitis. Now my testicles are experiencing dull pain again. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Based on the symptoms you described above, it is speculated that the hidden pain in the testicles is caused by varicocele. If it is not treated actively, it may interfere with future fertility. It is best to change to another hospital for treatment. A routine semen analysis should be conducted to see how it has interfered with fertility. Varicocele without obvious symptoms and in those who are still able to conceive generally does not require surgical treatment. Non-surgical methods include wearing tight-fitting underwear and carefully observing. If the varicocele is of degree two or higher, early surgical treatment is necessary. My explanation hopes to be of some help to you. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
