Patient's question:
Recently, the left testicle is lower than the right one, with a feeling of heaviness, fullness, and pain. The ultrasound results are as shown in the figure. Could it possibly be other types of inflammation? What could be the cause?Doctor's answer:
The consideration is varicocele, but you mentioned the consideration of other inflammation. I wonder if you have a history of unsafe sexual practices or other discomfort symptoms in the past, such as frequent urination, urgency, and dysuria. If inflammation and other discomforts are not separated, it would only be considered simple varicocele. Generally, mild varicocele does not require surgery. If it exceeds moderate to severe or the symptoms are particularly severe, timely surgical intervention is necessary. It is important to take medication according to symptoms and pay attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
