Patient's question:
Six months ago, I had a comprehensive examination at a urology hospital. At that time, the doctor said it was mild and advised me to seek treatment if I had any issues with fertility. Now, I feel it's getting worse. Before, it was just the left testicle that was in the wrong position and causing pain, but now the right one has also started to swell and ache. I've been experiencing constant lower back pain, dark complexion, and a lack of libido. My testicles also seem to have shrunk.Doctor's answer:
According to your symptoms, it is necessary to consider the possibility of having bilateral varicocele, which may cause bilateral swelling and pain, and recurrence of varicocele. For men who are childless, timely surgery is required. Re-examine the scrotal color Doppler ultrasound to understand the condition of the dilated veins, and then determine if there is any division of varicocele on the right side. If not, solve one side; if there is, both sides need to be addressed simultaneously. Varicocele can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used according to the symptoms. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay attention to personal hygiene. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
