Patient's question:
If there is varicocele on the left side, what tests should be done?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele, which is an abnormal complete twist and expansion of the pampiniform plexus of the spermatic vein. It appears as a ring-shaped, non-echoic tube above the testis in the scrotum. The patient should lie in a supine position, fully exposing the external genitalia, with the penis supported against the abdomen and the scrotum held in place by a bandage. Careful observation of the course and internal echoes of the varicose veins is necessary. Varicocele can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor during treatment, appropriate medication, and a light diet are essential. Avoid foods, smoking, and drinking beer.
