Patient's question:
What should I do if I develop complications after varicocele surgery? I've been married for two years and haven't been able to get pregnant. My wife and I haven't had any thorough check-ups, but yesterday I went for one and they said I have varicocele. But what caused it? I usually go for walks, but I don't do much physical activity, and I haven't felt any discomfort. How could I get this disease?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele of the spermatic cord is often asymptomatic and is usually discovered during routine health check-ups or during self-examinations when painless, earthworm-like masses are found in the scrotum. It may also be detected when seeking medical attention for infertility. Some patients may experience symptoms such as a heavy or full sensation, dull pain, or discomfort, which can worsen after prolonged standing or walking but improve or disappear when lying down. It can be associated with conditions like varicose veins in the lower limbs or hemorrhoids. Seek treatment at a reputable local hospital, pay attention to the progression of the condition, avoid indiscriminate treatment, and face life with a calm and composed mindset.
