Patient's question:
I'm not feeling well. The doctor said I have varicocele, but I haven't seen any signs of it. Can varicocele be felt?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele is generally detectable by touch. It primarily causes a sensation of heaviness in the scrotum, discomfort and pain, as well as changes in the appearance of the affected area. These are common symptoms in clinical diagnosis. Treatment options mainly include surgery or the use of potassium permanganate for blood circulation enhancement, along with the use of scrotal supports for immobilization. Rest is also recommended as part of the treatment.
