What happens if varicocele is left untreated?

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 long, and it basically stopped after a few days. 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 feeling in the testicular scrotum, dampness 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 coarse 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 diversified nutrition.
