Patient's question:
Two testicles have always been hanging crookedly, and it's visible from the outside that there are prominent blood vessels. How is this usually treated?Doctor's answer:
There may be a risk of bilateral varicocele. Varicocele generally occurs on the left side, but it can also occur on both sides. Usually, the dilated blood vessels can be seen in the scrotum when standing. It is recommended to undergo bilateral scrotal color Doppler ultrasound for a thorough examination. If varicocele is diagnosed and accompanied by significant blood reflux, surgical intervention may be necessary. Varicocele can be stabilized, but the treatment process is usually slow. Therefore, symptomatic medication should be used during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid stimulating foods, and refrain from smoking and drinking beer.
