Wondering how to treat varicocele

Patient's question:

45 years old. Since the day before yesterday, I have felt swelling in the testicle (left). When I touch the testicle, there is tenderness and it is inactive. When lying down and not touching the testicle, there is no discomfort. Urination is normal, but there is a sensation of heaviness when standing. In the past week, I haven't had sexual activity, and it seems there are no other reasons for this condition. I have never had this history before. Could you please ask the expert why this is happening and how it should be treated? Thank you!

Doctor's answer:

Hello, in your case, it's best to go to the hospital and have a doctor examine you. Because your current symptoms are a bit like varicocele, as it also manifests as tortuous veins on the surface of the testicles and is more noticeable when standing. Therefore, it is suggested that the possibility of varicocele is relatively high, and you should go to the hospital to have a doctor examine you or undergo an ultrasound examination. There is nothing else.
