Patient's question:
Doctor, it seems there are many blood vessels on the inside of my thigh, which can be clearly felt, and I can also feel a sense of fullness and soreness here when walking. Could this be what they call varicocele? How is varicocele examined in detail?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele is generally identified by the appearance of vein-like vessels that resemble earthworms. In addition to this, it can lead to recurrent issues such as elevated semen quality and testicular atrophy. It can also be detected through a careful ultrasound examination. For varicocele, once diagnosed, it is essential to consider surgical intervention as the only viable solution. This is an issue that cannot be ignored, and proper training in testing must be conducted.
