Patient's question:
Erectile dysfunction for a long time is painfulDoctor's answer:
Varicocele refers to the tortuous and dilated veins in the spermatic cord due to impaired venous. Patients with varicocele may be completely asymptomatic and only detected during physical examination. The affected scrotum or testis may have a sensation of fullness or dragging pain, with swelling of the scrotum. When standing, the affected scrotum and testis are higher than the healthy side, and the surface of the scrotum shows dilated, tortuous veins. A soft, worm-like mass can be felt upon palpation, and symptoms may be reduced or disappear when lying down. Patients may also experience neurotic symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, and hyperesthesia.
