Patient's question:
I am a 26-year-old married male. I have noticed that my left testicle hangs significantly lower than the right, approximately 1.5 cm lower. Besides, when standing, I can feel something like a worm on the left testicle, which is slightly twisted. After standing for a long time, I feel a sense of soreness and discomfort. It disappears when lying down. I have never received any treatment.Doctor's answer:
Based on your description of the condition, it appears that your left testicle is significantly drooping, and when standing, there is a noticeable side impact resembling a worm-like blood vessel. This is likely testicular inflammation accompanied by varicocele. It is recommended that you visit a hospital for a thorough ultrasound examination of your testicles and spermatic cord. Based on the examination results, appropriate treatment such as antibiotics or surgery can be administered. This condition can easily lead to infertility, so it is advised to seek medical attention promptly.In addition to treating male reproductive health issues, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a positive mood to enhance their physical condition and accelerate recovery.
