Patient's question:
The groins on both sides often have a vague pain, most noticeable on the left side, lasting for over a month. Is this varicocele? Besides, I always feel like I need to defecate but can't finish or push it down, and I always feel like I need to urinate but can't. It's been about a month. Is the groin pain varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele, a condition where the veins in the spermatic cord become dilated, is difficult to identify solely based on external appearance. It is recommended that you consult with a general surgeon at a hospital for an in-person examination to confirm the diagnosis. Regarding your second symptom, the constant urge to defecate with incomplete bowel movements, this could be caused by rectal polyps or internal hemorrhoids, and this also requires an in-person examination. Varicocele tends to recur, so long-term medication is necessary. For male patients, it is important to seek medical treatment at a professional and reputable hospital promptly. Treatment should be considered based on the results of a thorough examination. Additionally, proper diet should be maintained.
