Patient's question:
A lump that looks like a group of blood vessels is felt under the testicles. Standing for a long time causes a dull ache in the testicles.Doctor's answer:
Varicocele, due to blood stasis in the spermatic veins, can lead to an increase in scrotal temperature, with the testicular temperature rising by 1℃ to 2℃. Prolonged high temperatures can impair sperm production in the testes, resulting in azoospermia (no sperm) and oligozoospermia (low sperm count). The epididymis also does not favor sperm maturation. This condition is more common in young and middle-aged adults, with a higher incidence on the left side. Individuals with mild or no symptoms can wear elastic pants or use a scrotal support band.For men with more severe symptoms or infertility caused by varicocele and abnormal sperm, surgical treatment is recommended. Based on your description, it is advisable to undergo surgery promptly.
