What are the symptoms of varicocele?

Patient's question:

What are the symptoms of varicocele? I recently started trying for a second child, but haven't gotten pregnant yet. When I was pregnant before, it happened very quickly, so this time I thought I'd go to the hospital to check. However, after a thorough examination, they told me I had varicocele. I don't know what's going on or why I have this condition. What are the symptoms?

Doctor's answer:

Varicocele is classified into three degrees. In mild cases, the dilated veins are not palpable locally, and the patient only feels discomfort. In moderate cases, the dilated veins can be palpated when the patient stands, but they are not visible externally. In severe cases, dilated veins in the scrotum appear like worms or clusters. It is recommended to seek a detailed examination at a regular hospital for symptomatic treatment. Wishing you good health.
Varicocele can be stabilized, but the treatment cycle is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding.
