Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing pain in the scrotum. Yesterday, after a careful examination, it was found to be varicocele. What is the difference between varicocele and hernia?Doctor's answer:
If there is pain and discomfort in the scrotum, it needs to be cautious, as it could be varicocele. Besides that, it could be an infectious inflammation or fluid leakage. Theoretically, pain in the male position is usually due to inflammation of the testis and epididymis. Inguinal hernia is basically rarely confused with varicocele, because varicocele is characterized by swelling-like pain, while when touching a hernia, it can be clearly felt that the intestines have dropped into the scrotum.
