Patient's question:
Touched the left side of the scrotum, it seems there's a blood vessel, and the right side also seems to have one, but it's not as thick as the left one. There's no discomfort in the lower body.Doctor's answer:
Under normal circumstances, we can feel the spermatic cord on both sides. If you are not a professional, it is difficult to identify whether there is varicocele just by touching the spermatic cord. It is best to go to the urology department of a hospital and have a doctor perform a simple physical examination to confirm whether you have varicocele. Pay attention to your clothing habits and try to wear loose clothes, especially underwear. Avoid cold baths and prolonged sitting or standing. For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication and maintain a regular lifestyle, avoiding prolonged sitting.
