Patient's question:
A week ago, my testicles started to have mild pain, and I initially thought it was because of sitting all day. Resting would make it better. But now it still hurts. My colleague said varicocele is a symptom of testicular pain. How can varicocele be self-diagnosed? Please advise.Doctor's answer:
Doubtful of varicocele, it is recommended to go to the urology department of the local People's Hospital for a follow-up examination and thorough check-up. Without clinical medical knowledge, it is impossible to diagnose varicocele. A physical examination in the urology department, testicular function evaluation, semen analysis, serum testosterone test, and color Doppler MRI should be conducted. Alternatively, diagnostic tests such as CT scans may be performed. It is not advisable to self-examine or diagnose the condition. In addition to timely treatment for urological diseases, patients should also pay attention to dietary aspects, such as maintaining a light diet and engaging in regular outdoor activities. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a reputable hospital for treatment to achieve good therapeutic effects.
