Varicocele is a condition that occurs on the head of the epididymis. What should be done?

Patient's question:

Varicocele occurs again on the head of the epididymis or the tail of the epididymis? There is a small lump at the tail of my epididymis when I stand up, which disappears when I lie down. On the penis foreskin, there are only some weak and protruding blood vessels.

Doctor's answer:

The varicocele is located inside the spermatic cord, which is a cord-like structure connecting the testes and epididymis, tightly the vas deferens and lymphatic vessels. The condition you described should be considered a hernia or hydrocele. It may be recommended to visit the urology department at a hospital for a scrotal ultrasound to confirm the diagnosis. This is the advice for the question "How should I handle varicocele occurring above the head of the epididymis?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
