Patient's question:
I have a blue vein on my testicle that becomes very thick and hard during erection. I'm not sure what the cause is, it's like varicose veins on someone's leg. I want to know what might have caused this and what solutions are available.Doctor's answer:
1. Varicocele of the spermatic cord is often asymptomatic and is usually discovered during routine health checks or during self-examinations when painless, worm-like lumps in the scrotum are found. 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 may be associated with conditions such as varicose veins in the lower limbs or hemorrhoids.2. It is recommended to seek examination and treatment at a professional and reputable hospital.
