Patient's question:
Three months ago, I was diagnosed with left varicocele. Recently, the left testicle has started to frequently ache. The pain is not severe but very painful. I'm not sure if the scrotum is swollen, but there's a small lump at the head of the testicle, which hurts when touched. The main pain is at the tail of the testicle. I've seen online that there's a concern about testicular necrosis. The testicle has sensation and slight tenderness. Is this testicular necrosis?Doctor's answer:
Left scrotal pain and discomfort, it may also be possible to have epididymitis. Alternatively, it could be caused by varicocele. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a color Doppler ultrasound examination to rule out the possibility of testicular torsion. If it is indeed inconvenient for you, acupuncture can also be used for self-treatment.No medication has been taken for the left spermatic cord, such as Meizhiling tablets or Xuefu Zhuyu. There are many treatment methods for male diseases, but because the symptoms of patients are different, the diagnostic methods used will also vary. Therefore, patients need to undergo timely and thorough examination and diagnosis to ensure appropriate treatment.
