Patient's question:
Right hip joint and lateral thigh radiating pain, right testicle and abdomen also hurt but it gets better after a while. What are the symptoms of varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele is one of the common diseases in urology. Varicocele is more common on the left side, which is related to the anatomical structure of the left spermatic vein. Varicocele is caused by the destruction of the antireflux function of the venous valves of the spermatic vein, leading to venous blood reflux. Mild varicocele usually has no clinical diagnostic symptoms. Generally, it can be detected through color Doppler MRI. For moderate varicocele, it is manifested as the spermatic vessels becoming twisted into clusters, thickened, and recurring symptoms of drooping and distending pain. For severe varicocele, the varicocele cluster can be felt when touching the scrotum with the hand. For severe varicocele, the varicocele cluster is usually found in the scrotum.
