Patient's question:
Hello, what is varicocele? To be honest, I am currently a medical student, but today when the teacher mentioned varicocele, I wasn't really paying attention, so I came here to ask everyone!Doctor's answer:
Varicocele is a condition where the veins within the spermatic cord undergo a change in elasticity, causing them to become tortuous and dilated, leading to localized pain, discomfort such as testicular heaviness and swelling, known as varicocele. If varicocele occurs, it is necessary to visit a urologist at the hospital for surgical treatment. The surgery is simple: the dilated veins are ligated, and after the ligation, the symptoms can be completely resolved.
