Patient's question:
I am a security guard. My friend said that standing up to work often leads to varicose veins. The veins on my legs are becoming more and more prominent. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was told it was varicose veins. What are the dangers of varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele generally occurs again on the left side of the testis. Some people on both sides have mild varicocele, which may cause no discomfort. If it is severe, the testis may have a sense of pain, swelling, and fullness. In addition, you can clearly feel a worm-like lump in the testicular area with your hands, which can interfere with conception. According to the degree of varicocele, different clinical symptoms can be caused, and different harms will occur. 1. Mild varicocele may be asymptomatic and pose no harm to the body. 2. Moderate varicocele can cause a sense of heaviness, swelling, discomfort, and pain in the scrotal area, and can also lead to abnormal testicular sperm production and sperm quality, resulting in male infertility.
