Patient's question:
In normal condition, there are two thicker segments on the left side of the scrotum that look like blood vessels.History of treatment and effectiveness: None
Regardless of any assistance: Hello, is this varicocele?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, the scrotum shows a relatively typical earthworm sac-like appearance, feeling like a bent cord-like structure. If varicocele is also present in the scrotum and penis, it suggests the presence of varicose veins leading to the femoral vein.Treatment Recommendations for Varicocele:
Conservative Treatment: For mild varicocele or those accompanied by neurasthenia, report to the scrotum, apply cold compresses, etc.
Surgical Treatment: For severe varicocele, a history of sperm count below 20 million for three consecutive times, or testicular atrophy; if the varicose veins disappear when lying flat, the inguinal internal vein ligation surgery can be performed.
Varicocele can be stabilized, but the treatment cycle is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor during treatment.
