Patient's question:
I clearly felt something strange with my little brother last week; it wasn't hard, and I was also weak all over, lacking energy. After telling my friend about these symptoms, he said it might be varicocele. I'd like to ask what varicocele feels like?Doctor's answer:
If there is varicocele, the main recurring symptoms are a heavy and uncomfortable pain in the scrotum, which may also radiate to a dull ache in the lower abdomen. You may consider undergoing a color Doppler ultrasound examination of the spermatic cord to confirm the diagnosis. First and foremost, it is important to maintain a regular lifestyle and sleep schedule, avoiding fatigue and staying up late as much as possible. Additionally, try to minimize the consumption of spicy and irritating foods, as well as fried foods.
