Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know what's going on, I've been feeling very uncomfortable downstairs, and I'm not getting morning erections anymore. What are the symptoms of varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele primarily causes swollen, aching pain in the perineal area. When standing, it may present with dilated veins on the surface of the scrotum, and walking can cause discomfort due to friction. It mainly affects sexual life and makes conception more difficult. In mild cases, the issue is usually not severe and can be carefully monitored without intervention. Alternatively, scrotal support can be tried for treatment. Regularly practicing abdominal muscle contractions with downward pressure can also help.
