Patient's question:
Doctor, is the bluish vein under my scrotum and testicle normal? Is this varicocele? Also, after sexual intercourse, my scrotum and testicle always feel heavy—is this normal, doctor?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele is caused by damage to the pampiniform plexus valves, leading to venous reflux obstruction. This can result in symptoms such as a heavy or swollen scrotum. Therefore, it is not possible to determine whether you have varicocele based solely on your picture. You need to visit a hospital for a detailed color Doppler ultrasound examination of the spermatic cord to confirm the diagnosis. Varicocele can be cured, but the treatment process is usually slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with your doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene.
