Patient's question:
Two days ago, I had intermittent pain in my left testicle. Walking more became gentler, and in the afternoon, I took anti-inflammatory medication (levofloxacin). After sleeping well for one night, I felt a bit better. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, including a color Doppler ultrasound of the urinary system and the testicles. The results were all normal. The doctor said it was nothing serious and recommended continuing to take anti-inflammatory medication for a few more days. Yesterday morning, I didn't walk much, but in the afternoon, I felt uncomfortable again and didn't dare to walk more. Could it be varicocele? What kind of medication should I take?Doctor's answer:
If the testicles are not swollen and there is no inflammation, your condition may be varicocele. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a check-up. Experienced doctors can palpate the varicose spermatic veins. If it really doesn't work, you can also have a color Doppler ultrasound of the spermatic veins. Testicular conditions are prone to recurrence, and long-term medication intake is necessary. For male patients, it is important to seek medical attention immediately at a professional and regular hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking, and pay attention to personal hygiene.
