Patient's question:
What does the blood vessel of varicocele look like? I feel that the blood vessels are thick and thin, is it normal?Doctor's answer:
Early symptoms of varicocele include several types: a heavy and uncomfortable feeling in the scrotum, aching pain in the testicles or lower abdomen. The symptoms may worsen during physical exertion and subside when the body is at rest. When standing, the scrotum becomes enlarged and twisted, with the skin appearing loose, clearly showing the expansion, bending, and stretching of the venous plexus. Patients with more severe varicocele often frequently feel fatigue, dizziness, lower back pain, and may also experience symptoms such as a damp and cold scrotum or impotence and premature ejaculation. Test results show that sperm count increases, but their vitality is very low, along with other phenomena like immature and abnormally shaped sperm.
