What happens if varicocele is left untreated for a long time?

Patient's question:

I exercise running every day, and I always run quite tired. After running for a few weeks, one night after sleeping, I felt itchy in my scrotum, and later found a small soft lump inside. However, the itching didn't last for many days, and it basically stopped itching afterward. What happens if varicocele is left untreated for a long time?

Doctor's answer:

1. Varicocele can greatly affect normal life: The symptoms of varicocele include a heavy and distended sensation in the testicular scrotum, dampness, swelling, and pain in the testicular scrotum, as well as abnormal erections. In severe cases, it may affect walking and standing.
2. It is recommended to go to a regular and professional hospital for examination and treatment. Consume more rough fiber foods such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc. They contain a substance that helps bifidobacteria, which is beneficial for intestinal absorption. Avoid foods, alcohol, etc., and maintain a diversified diet.
