Where is varicocele located?

Patient's question:

A few days ago, my friend was diagnosed with varicocele. When I accompanied him to the hospital for a thorough examination, the doctor said his condition was quite severe and recommended surgery as soon as possible. After hearing this, I felt particularly upset. I am almost the same age as him, and I worry that I might also get this disease. Where does varicocele occur?

Doctor's answer:

Varicocele primarily occurs in the scrotum, causing swelling and discomfort, as well as friction and stinging pain when walking. When standing, there is local blood vessel engorgement, and the surface of the scrotum may again appear with tortuous veins. It can be confirmed through a detailed ultrasound examination of the urinary and reproductive systems. The main treatment is surgery, with a mild case being scrotal support. Rest more often in daily life. The above information can be used as a reference.
