Patient's question:
I have varicocele, it will never affect my daily life. It's just that sometimes when sitting, I feel a little discomfort in my left testicle. Is it varicocele? If I have varicocele, will it never affect anything?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele is a common disease in men and middle-aged men. Its incidence is not only on the left side, but the vast majority are localized pain and falling pain. The pain can radiate to the lower abdomen, groin, and waist. Symptoms worsen after walking or training, and can be relieved or alleviated by rest and prone position. Varicocele is a common cause of infertility. In addition, many patients may also experience symptoms such as mental anxiety, nervousness, neurasthenia, general malaise, and premature ejaculation. Severe varicocele can lead to swelling on the affected side of the testicle. Treatment should be based on the degree of varicocele, such as using elastic stockings, scrotal stretching, and other physical therapies. If the condition is severe or accompanied by infertility, testicular atrophy, etc., early treatment should be initiated. If surgical indications are present, timely consultation with a surgical doctor should be sought to avoid missing the opportunity for treatment.
