Patient's question:
Over the past year, my libido has decreased slightly, I feel very weak all over, and I have some urinary frequency and urgency. Every time I urinate, there is a stinging sensation. There are many small veins on the scrotum, like small earthworms, which are very disgusting. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was diagnosed with varicocele. What kind of help do you need: What are the most obvious symptoms of varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele is classified into three degrees. In mild cases, the dilated veins are not palpable locally, and only discomfort is felt. In moderate cases, the dilated veins can be palpated when standing, but they are not visible externally. In severe cases, dilated veins in the scrotum appear like worms or clusters.The treatment for varicocele varies by degree. Mild cases can be managed conservatively, such as through rest, wearing tight-fitting underwear, increasing physical activity, and appropriately using blood-activating medications. However, moderate to severe cases, or those accompanied by infertility or abnormal semen, require surgical intervention.
