Doctor's answer:
Varicocele is a common male urogenital system disease caused by the abnormal dilatation and tortuosity of the pampiniform plexus of veins within the spermatic cord, often leading to perineal pain and discomfort, and being associated with male infertility. Based on your condition, you are relatively young and the symptoms are not prominent, but it is still recommended that you visit a urology or andrology department for a diagnosis. Color Doppler ultrasound examination is advisable, and you may also consider tests for sperm quality and sexual hormones to identify the potential underlying causes of varicocele—whether it is primary or secondary. Then, a comprehensive analysis should be conducted to determine whether medication or surgery is more appropriate. Of course, you can also try wearing tight-fitting underwear in daily life. It is suggested not to worry too much, as research indicates that a combination of surgery and medication can achieve good results.
