What are the clinical manifestations of varicocele on the left side?

Patient's question:

Got varicocele on the left side, what are the clinical manifestations?

Doctor's answer:

The affected side of the scrotum or testicle may experience a sense of heaviness, fullness, and pain, with the scrotum swelling again. Some patients may also have sexual dysfunction, which can interfere with fertility.
When the temperature inside the scrotum drops, it can affect the opposite side, leading to symptoms such as atrophy, swelling, and an increase in sperm count in the spermatogonia. For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and maintain a regular lifestyle in daily life, avoiding prolonged sitting.
