Patient's question:
I am 16 years old. Yesterday, my testicles sometimes had some pain. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and found varicocele. Now I am taking medication, but I still feel pain. Should I have surgery or wait and see carefully?Doctor's answer:
The pampiniform plexus of the spermatic cord extends, twists, and shortens, which is called varicocele, one of the common diseases in men. Its causes include: physical factors such as prolonged standing, increased abdominal pressure, and the vigorous blood flow of young adults, as well as other factors such as retroperitoneal tumors, renal tumors, and hydronephrosis, which can all lead to this condition.According to your description, it is recommended that you carefully observe your condition, consider your personal circumstances, and actively seek medical attention for a thorough examination when necessary. Follow the doctor's advice for timely and appropriate treatment. In daily life, pay attention to local hygiene, maintain a moderate sexual frequency, exercise regularly, and avoid prolonged standing.
Wishing you good health.
