Patient's question:
Two months ago, I had discomfort and slight pain in the perineum, which has persisted until now, with recurring episodes. In the past month, I've also experienced discomfort in the left inguinal region. Yesterday, after a thorough examination at the hospital, the result was varicocele. Can this cause inguinal discomfort? Is there a relationship between discomfort between the anus and testicles and varicocele? How severe is my condition like this? Is it okay to wait for over a month? I am seeking detailed clarification from the doctor.Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, the symptoms should be promptly treated for varicocele. From an ultrasound perspective, the diagnosis of varicocele is without any doubt. However, your symptoms also need to consider the possibility of prostatitis. But since you do not have surgical indications for varicocele, you can only receive conservative treatment. The condition of varicocele tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. Treatment should be considered based on further examination results. Additionally, pay attention to restricting sexual activity and maintaining a good mood.
