Patient's question:
My friend was recently diagnosed with varicocele in the hospital. He's not familiar with this condition and is very worried about it. He wants to go to the hospital for treatment, so I want to ask which department he should see for varicocele?Doctor's answer:
The main symptom of varicocele is the position of the scrotum when standing. The recurrence of dilated blood vessels typically causes swelling, discomfort, soreness, or even sharp pain during walking. If varicocele recurs, it is advisable to visit a hospital promptly for a scrotal color Doppler MRI examination to further clarify the situation. The urology department of the hospital can be considered. It has been proven that varicocele can lead to a feeling of testicular drooping. Varicocele of the spermatic cord can cause abnormal sperm. Symptoms may alleviate after fatigue, prolonged walking, intense exercise, or sexual activity, but they will decrease after lying down and resting. If the condition improves, surgical treatment can be considered promptly for a complete cure.
