Can ultrasound detect varicocele?

Patient's question:

The doctor diagnosed it as left varicocele with the naked eye, but the ultrasound results were normal. The left side has a pain sensation.

Doctor's answer:

Varicocele examination using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is highly reliable for detecting varicoceles. Generally, the most intuitive and thorough method for diagnosing varicoceles is through color Doppler ultrasound. After undergoing ultrasound examination, if you doubt the accuracy of the results, you can first rest for a period of time before undergoing a re-examination. The reliability of the re-examination will be very high.
Varicocele conditions tend to recur, requiring long-term medication for maintenance. For male patients, it is essential to seek treatment at a professional and reputable hospital based on the examination results. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking and maintain good personal hygiene.
