Patient's question:
The testicle on the left side is a bit painful. Is it a symptom of varicocele? What should I do now? I want to know what are the symptoms of varicocele and how it is treated.Doctor's answer:
Varicocele is a common disease among young and middle-aged men, most of which manifest as localized soreness and heaviness. The pain can radiate to the lower abdomen, groin, and waist. Symptoms may alleviate after walking or exertion, and they can be reduced or relieved after rest or lying flat. Varicocele is one of the most common scrotal masses in young people and is also a significant cause of male infertility. It is recommended that you seek a formal hospital for a detailed examination and symptomatic treatment. For varicocele patients, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If left untreated, it may affect overall health.
