Patient's question:
Varicocele: 3.6 on the left, 2.5 on the right. My main symptom is a heavy feeling in the groin.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the dilatation, tortuosity, and elongation of the pampiniform plexus of spermatic veins are called varicocele, which is one of the common diseases in men. The main clinical symptoms include: a sense of heaviness or dull pain in the affected scrotum or testis, scrotal enlargement, the affected scrotum and testis being lower than the healthy side when standing, and dilated, tortuous veins visible on the surface of the scrotum. A soft, earthworm-like mass can be felt upon palpation, and symptoms may be alleviated or disappear when lying down. The current treatment principles generally follow: for those without symptoms or with mild symptoms, wearing elastic pants or using a scrotal support band can be recommended; for those with severe symptoms and male infertility associated with varicocele and abnormal sperm, surgical treatment should be considered. It is recommended that you combine your own condition and actively seek medical attention when necessary, avoiding blind medication.
