Patient's question:
I feel like my penis seems to have a burst blood vessel, but it doesn't hurt. I'm worried about varicose veins, what do varicocele look like?Doctor's answer:
The skin surface of the penis, if it has varicose veins, refers to the recurrence of varicose veins in the penile skin, not varicocele. Varicocele is the recurrence of varicose veins in the spermatic cord within the testicles or scrotum, causing venous vessels to dilate and twist, which in turn slows blood circulation. This can lead to symptoms such as pain and heaviness in the scrotum. Varicocele can affect male sperm quality. It is recommended that patients with varicocele seek surgical treatment at a local hospital.
