Patient's question:
All the blood vessels in the left testicle are engorged, like earthworms. They become engorged whether standing or sitting, but they disappear when lying down. There's no pain or sensation. The left testicle is noticeably smaller than the right. After searching on Google, it's suspected to be varicocele. I had sexual activity before, but have now abstained. I don't want to have surgery. What can I eat to treat it?Doctor's answer:
Based on the description of your situation, it is preliminarily considered that the symptoms are caused by varicocele. It is recommended to visit the urology department of the hospital for a follow-up examination and undergo a color Doppler ultrasound to confirm the diagnosis. If the condition is confirmed and medication treatment is ineffective, it is advised to undergo a high ligation surgery for varicocele. For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication treatment and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
