Patient's question:
Sometimes the testicles feel uncomfortable, and sitting down occasionally can cause pain. It's been almost 2 years since the divorce, and I've never had this issue before, but recently it's been bothering me a lot. Previously, a thorough examination revealed mild varicocele with slightly reduced sperm count, but it improved after taking medication. Now I'm worried that the varicocele might have worsened. I want to know what the symptoms of varicocele are?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele has the following symptoms that are relatively common: Local edema and pain. A typical symptom of varicocele patients is swelling, fullness, and pain in the scrotum or testicles. In severe cases, the swollen, worm-like veins can be distinctly felt or seen in the scrotum. For male patients, it is important to seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital immediately. Treatment should be considered based on careful examination results. Additionally, it is advisable to quit smoking and drinking, and pay attention to personal hygiene.
