Patient's question:
Doctor, hello! Two days ago, my wife punched me in the groin, and later I felt discomfort in my left testicle. At first, it was pain, then it radiated to my left abdomen. Later, the pain slightly subsided, but I felt it was getting swollen. That night, my wife applied cold compresses to me, which were a bit cold. That night and the following nights, I felt my scrotum was cold. I took two days of Panax Notoginseng Tablets and Amoxicillin, but it still hurt, so I went back to the hospital for a follow-up. The doctor confirmed it was varicocele through an ultrasound. The doctor said this is congenital and does not require treatment. My wife just caused some redness and swelling in my scrotum, and taking some anti-inflammatory medicine would be fine. Doctor, hello, do I really not need treatment for this varicocele? The anti-inflammatory medicine the doctor gave me today is "Compound Bismuth Alum Granules" and ""Doctor's answer:
According to the ultrasound examination report, it is varicocele. Medication is not very effective for this, and surgery is prone to complications. It is recommended that when resting at night, you should support the scrotum to help venous return. If the symptoms are significant, surgical treatment should be considered. The condition of varicocele tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. Additionally, for male patients, it is necessary to seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital immediately. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Also, pay attention to quitting smoking and drinking, and maintaining personal hygiene.
