Patient's question:
Sometimes the left testicle feels heavy and swollen. It's noticeable when it's hard, but there's no difference when it's not. Recently, I've noticed it doesn't stay hard for long, even when it does get hard. I had it checked with X-rays at the hospital before, and nothing was found. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Initial consideration may be varicocele. In this case, it is recommended that you revisit the hospital for a follow-up. Detailed physical examination by a doctor and careful ultrasound examination are necessary to confirm the diagnosis and treatment. For patients with testicular conditions, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take oral medication in a timely manner and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life to avoid prolonged sitting.
