Patient's question:
What are the symptoms of varicocele, I want to know what the symptoms of varicocele are, why does this condition occur, and I don't understand what's going on. My husband and I have been trying to conceive, but we have never been able to get pregnant. Then we had a thorough examination and were told that he has varicocele. So I want to ask what the symptoms are and what to do about it?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of varicocele mainly include a feeling of heaviness or aching discomfort in the scrotum, swelling and pain in the perineum, lower abdomen, or waist. The symptoms become more pronounced after prolonged standing or physical exertion and are relieved by lying down and resting. The dilated veins may only be noticeable when breathing deeply or straining, and in severe cases, the dilated veins can also be seen on the surface of the scrotal skin. Varicocele can be cured, but the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment.
