Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I have been feeling unwell recently, experiencing pain in my scrotum. The doctor said I have varicocele. What are the initial symptoms of varicocele?Doctor's answer:
According to what you mentioned, I believe varicose veins generally manifest as a heavy and swollen feeling in the scrotum, with expanded veins upon touch. Based on your situation, I suggest you visit a hospital for an ultrasound examination for diagnosis and treatment. For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should receive timely and symptomatic treatment, and maintain a regular sex life while avoiding prolonged sitting in daily life. I wish you a speedy recovery.
