Patient's question:
I recently found that my scrotum not only has a sense of heaviness and fullness, but also, in addition to the symptoms of hidden and dull pain, sometimes the symptoms worsen due to walking. Therefore, I am worried that I may have varicocele. I would like to ask what are the mild manifestations of varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Mild varicocele is usually asymptomatic and can be easily overlooked. It is often discovered during routine health check-ups. When varicocele is more severe, various symptoms may reappear, such as scrotal enlargement, a heavy or full sensation, and dull pain. Symptoms tend to worsen with prolonged walking or standing and may relieve or disappear after lying down. Varicocele tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is essential to seek immediate treatment at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the results of thorough examinations.
