Patient's question:
My aunt's brother often works standing up after work, and it's been like this 24 hours a day. After standing for so long, he seems to have recently discovered that the veins on his feet have started to dilate. He initially thought nothing of it, but now the dilation has become increasingly severe, and the veins are very thick. After a thorough check-up at the hospital, it was diagnosed as varicose veins. Could you please tell me what are the symptoms of varicocele?Doctor's answer:
After the onset of varicocele, some symptoms may reappear. Generally, the symptoms in the early stage are not particularly obvious, such as mild recurrence of symptoms like slight pain in the scrotum and pain during ejaculation. In more severe cases of varicocele, symptoms such as a heavy feeling in the scrotum, abdominal pain, testicular pain, and scrotal enlargement may occur. Additionally, with careful observation of the scrotum with the naked eye, dilated spermatic veins can be detected.
