Patient's question:
The left testicle has had epididymitis for over two years and severe varicocele. Recently, it was found that the left testicle is more than twice the size of the right, and it often hurts. Should it be removed? If you need to go to the hospital for a thorough examination, what preparations are needed in advance?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to choose a regular hospital for a systematic examination, determine the treatment based on the results, and surgery may not be necessary. At the same time, it is important to rest more and avoid overexertion. Varicocele has little impact on health, and most men can recover on their own after marriage. Once diagnosed, it is important to rest, balance activity and rest, and actively participate in some beneficial cultural and recreational activities. If the symptoms are severe and accompanied by abnormal sperm leading to infertility, surgical treatment should be considered.
