Patient's question:
A week ago, the detailed ultrasound examination results showed bilateral varicocele and testicular microlithiasis. There was swelling and thickening of the scrotum, and it felt like there was a lump. Also, standing for a long time would cause some pain, though it was not obvious. Previously, there had been folliculitis and edema. Is there a relationship between them? Is it severe? How should it be treated? Could there be a tumor?Doctor's answer:
This is not a consideration for a tumor manifestation, but rather the possibility of testicular calculi. It is necessary to rule out whether it is a manifestation of a cyst. It is recommended that you undergo an AFP test and a repeat semen analysis. If abnormalities are found, surgical treatment may be required. Varicocele can be relieved, 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, during the treatment period, it is recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle and have a proper diet.
