Patient's question:
Left varicocele often performs strenuous exercise and has never felt anything. Left varicocele has undergone high ligation surgery. There is a very thick blood vessel inside the left scrotum. It feels that many blood vessels inside the left scrotum are swollen. Now it is still curved. How did this disease occur? What medicine should be taken for this symptom?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele can cause local discomfort, such as aching and pulling in the scrotum, or it may be most noticeable during exercise. Varicocele should be treated again with surgery, or there may be a sensation of heaviness causing discomfort. It is recommended to undergo surgery. This could be due to the intense training you underwent in the military, leading to its recurrence. I suggest you go to the hospital for a follow-up ultrasound to check. It is likely that the condition has worsened, causing this. If necessary, reflux can only be detected during the ultrasound if you blow up your abdomen; otherwise, it may not be visible. It is essential to decide on surgery for treatment. At this point, you cannot participate in exercise. It will help alleviate your varicocele.
