Patient's question:
When I was taking a shower, I noticed that one of my testicles is much larger than the other, and it seems to be lower on one side. When I touched it, I felt that the veins were very prominent, almost like earthworms coiled inside the testicle. Please ask: What are the symptoms of varicocele?Doctor's answer:
According to your description and the consideration of your condition, it is possible that you may have varicocele. Varicocele may lead to local blood clots due to drainage obstruction of the spermatic veins, resulting in pain in the scrotum, secondary inflammation, and even complications such as infertility. I am not sure if you currently have any obvious discomfort symptoms.Varicocele generally requires early consideration of surgery or aggressive treatment depending on the severity of the condition. It is recommended to follow up at the general surgery outpatient clinic of a qualified hospital. After a comprehensive evaluation of the condition through ultrasound examination, physician examination, and medical history, the decision on whether further surgical treatment is needed can be made. Wishing you good health!
For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect your overall health condition.
