Patient's question:
I have worm-like veins on my penis. When it's hard, it's only a little bit noticeable when it's soft. Is this varicocele?Doctor's answer:
This is the venous blood vessel of the reproductive organs. Varicose veins are usually found in the lower limbs. It is advisable to carefully observe and, if necessary, return to the urology outpatient clinic for a follow-up examination and an ultrasound to confirm the diagnosis. Varicocele often recurs, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is essential to seek treatment at a professional and reputable hospital immediately. Treatment should be considered based on the results of the examination. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking and maintain good personal hygiene.
