Patient's question:
Why can a slightly bent, thick vein be felt on the upper left testicle, near the epididymis, but it disappears when lying down?Doctor's answer:
Nodular, tortuous blood vessels palpable in the scrotum, especially noticeable when standing and straining to hold one's breath, and disappearing when lying down. This condition should first be considered as varicocele. It is advisable to undergo a thorough scrotal and testicular ultrasound examination for confirmation. In mild cases, there may be no symptoms and no need for treatment. However, testicular conditions can be recurrent, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is crucial to seek professional and reputable medical attention immediately, and treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should be maintained. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
