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. Could this be a symptom of varicocele?Doctor's answer:
After the recurrence of varicocele, the most important symptom is the recurrence of testicular atrophy, which is more pronounced in the standing position. Some patients may also experience abdominal pain, which can be alleviated in the supine position. Elderly patients with recurrent varicocele should undergo a comprehensive examination to identify the cause of the varicocele. In the current condition of this patient, surgical treatment is necessary.
