Patient's question:
Left varicocele, now a bit painful, sometimes the left side of the waist also hurts, feels like the testicle has shrunk. Will this condition lead to testicular atrophy?Doctor's answer:
It is clearly varicocele, which primarily manifests as weak blood vessels, visible blue veins, and pain. It is recommended to consult a surgeon at a local hospital. For mild cases, medication such as Matislin can be taken, and attention should be paid to balancing work and rest to prevent prolonged sitting or standing. For severe cases, surgery is generally better. The condition of varicocele tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to actively seek diagnosis at professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on examination results. Additionally, it is necessary to quit smoking and drinking.
