What are the symptoms of varicocele in men?

Patient's question:

What symptoms do men experience with varicocele? What are the symptoms of varicocele?

Doctor's answer:

Specific symptoms should be determined based on the condition. Varicocele can cause recurrent scrotal swelling, persistent or intermittent dull or aching pain in the scrotum, which may radiate to the upper abdomen, groin area, or lower back. Symptoms may worsen after physical exertion or prolonged standing/walking, and may decrease or disappear after resting in a supine position. If this condition recurs, surgical treatment is generally required, as medication cannot cure it. You can seek medical attention and undergo a thorough examination at a regular hospital's surgical department. Pay attention to rest, avoid overexertion, and do not stand or walk for extended periods.
