Patient's question:
The maximum inner diameter is 3, with bilateral varicocele, and the left side is more pronounced. I've been pressing there constantly—will it get swollen from all the pressing? Can a normal person feel the spermatic vein when touching the scrotum?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele is a pathological phenomenon where the pampiniform plexus of veins around the spermatic cord becomes dilated, tortuous, and elongated due to various reasons causing impaired venous drainage.Treatment for varicocele:
Mild varicocele without symptoms does not require treatment.
Non-surgical treatment: For mild varicocele or those accompanied by neurasthenia, measures such as reporting scrotal symptoms and applying cold compresses may be recommended.
For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect overall health.
