Patient's question:
I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and they confirmed that my testicles were a bit soft without doing a color Doppler ultrasound. I'm really upset. Next week, I'm having surgery for varicocele. It doesn't hurt or itch, but the doctor could tell it was serious just by touching it. He said my testicles were a bit soft.Doctor's answer:
Hello: Varicocele is a common disease, with a higher incidence on the left side. If there are no symptoms and it does not interfere with the development of sperm, it can be carefully observed. It is normal for doctors to diagnose this condition through a thorough physical examination. The severity depends on the examination results and whether you have any related symptoms. It is recommended that you refer to the findings of your primary physician's examination and tests.
